Students & parents can view the CTE Student Planning Guide to select courses for the 2025-2026 school year.

Educational planning is a critical step in ensuring each student’s success on their academic journey. To support this process, our school counselors are conducting advisement sessions with students and parents in grades 5 through 11. During these sessions, we will work together to develop and update an individualized education plan tailored for postsecondary success.

The courses identified in each student’s educational plan will be utilized for the 2025–2026 course enrollments. To assist in this process, we’ve provided the 2025–2026 Course Catalogs. Please review the appropriate document linked below to explore the wide range of course options available.

We encourage you to contact your school counselor to schedule an advisement session and review this important information. These sessions are an invaluable opportunity to align your student’s academic choices with their long-term goals. We look forward to working with you!
