Program Planning Guide 2023-24 » Introduction

Introduction

As a student at Schreiber High School, you have the opportunity to select courses from a wide variety of subject areas; and to pursue an in-depth study in the area of your choice. Your unique interests, talents, skills and future goals determine the manner and degree to which you take advantage of the educational opportunities available.

 

The Program Planning Guide has been prepared so that each student can, with the help of parents, teachers and your school counselor, select a program of study which will enable him or her to make the most of the opportunities provided by the school.

Course Advisement

During the winter, school counselors will review course offerings with students to help plan a program of study that is appropriate, and aligns to student abilities, interests, and goals. When selecting a program of study, serious consideration should be given to teacher recommendations. Please be mindful of the term in which the course(s) are offered, so that students can plan accordingly.
