Each counselor will visit classrooms to conduct academic advising sessions. Then, students will schedule their individual advising appointments, which parents are invited to attend.

Core course selection for the 2023/2024 school year will require students' current core teachers to sign off on their choices for next year. For example, a student's current math teacher must sign off on the student's choice for a 2023/2024 math class.

For more information, please visit the counseling website and click "Academic Advising."

Student-athletes, we have an awesome tool for you to use! Please click here to learn more about Core Course GPA.

• NCAA DI/DII initial-eligibility academic requirements are different than the graduation requirements for Greenbrier High School.
• Not all courses offered at Greenbrier High School are accepted by the NCAA as core courses for the purpose of meeting the NCAA’s credit and GPA requirements.
• An NCAA core course GPA is not the same as the cumulative GPA on the report card and is often lower.
• The minimum NCAA core GPA requirements are more rigorous than graduation requirements. In addition, the lower your NCAA core GPA, the higher your SAT/ACT scores must be.
• Students interested in playing athletics at the collegiate level should begin tracking their NCAA core course GPA their freshman year. All semesters count towards meeting the NCAA’s academic requirements and it is not uncommon for 33 percent of core courses to be completed during freshman year.
• Counselors and coaches do not track student-athletes for NCAA initial-eligibility.
• Greenbrier High School provides all student-athletes with access to a free account with CoreCourseGPA.com to assist them in tracking their NCAA initial-eligibility progress.
