Current Freshmen
The formal process to choose one's courses for the following school year begins in Advisory for freshmen with the Graduation Tracking lesson. Freshmen will work with their counselors in December on a Graduation Tracking lesson where they learn about graduation requirements, the resources available to learn about course offerings, and how to keep track of their requirements. Each student will create an individualized graduation tracker that will be used throughout their high school career for registration and postsecondary planning. Students will want to think about special interests, talents and potential career choices as they consider courses to fulfill their requirements.
As part of the registration process, teachers discuss course recommendations with students and enter their recommendations into Infinite Campus. Teacher recommendations begin with "REC" before the course name. Counselors follow the guidance of teacher recommendations when finalizing course requests with students.
During Pre-Registration Presentations in January, counselors will present an overview of the registration process. Counselors offer optional pre-registration walk-through days for students to ask individual questions. During designated Advisory periods, counselors finalize course requests with each student. Course Verification is the final opportunity for students and families to review course requests and notify the counselor of errors.

Transfer Student Registration Process
Enrollment and Online Registration Information
Setting a Transfer Meeting with the Counselor:
Once residency is verified, you will be contacted by the Counseling Department Administrative Assistant to set a time to meet with a counselor for the intake meeting. Both student and parent/guardian must be present at this meeting.
Transfer Process:
The counselor meets with the student and parent/guardian, and a tentative schedule is made. The student may meet with department chairs for course placements and other department representatives for various programs and services, as needed. This process takes about 1-2 hours. Please be prepared to share information regarding previous academic experiences and discuss student preferences for courses. If you would like to review course offerings prior to your appointment, click here to view our Program of Studies.
On the student's first day of school, they will be matched with a Peer Helper. The Peer Helper will take the student on a school tour and will help the student get an ID card, locker, and Chromebook and set up an email account.
