9th Grade Courses

Picking Your Classes

  • Choose the pathway that best fits you. 
  • Once you've selected a pathway, pick the classes within that pathway that you would like to take. 
    • For CTE AG, CTE BUS, and ART Exploration, you'll choose two classes. 
    • For Scholar, you must choose one world language class. 

Total Your Selected Credits

We need to determine how many additional electives you need to register for. We do this by counting up how many credits you've already chosen. 

  • Total your credits selected. 
  • Core Credits: 5 + Pathway Credits = ______ / 8
  • Freshmen are registered for 5 core credits. 
  • Look at which Pathway you selected to determine how many Pathway credits you choose. 
    • CTE AG, CTE BUS, Art Exploration = 2 Pathway Credits. This means you selected 7 / 8 credits. 
    • Scholar Pathway = 1 Credit. This means you have selected 6 / 8 credits. 
  • To get to the 8 required credits, you will choose 1 or 2 additional elective classes. 

Additional Electives

  • English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Health/PE = 5 Credits. 
  • You should have selected 1 of our 4 pathways. 
  • You will get to choose 1 or 2 additional electives outside of your pathway. 
  • You will need to choose 3 additional elective options as your alternatives. 

Choosing Additional Elective(s)

You must choose a different course for your additional elective from what you chose from your Pathway. 

  • Example: You registered for the Scholar Pathway and chose Spanish 1. You will not choose Spanish 1 again. You will choose two different courses, like Band and AVID. 
  • Example: You registered for the CTE Business Pathway and chose Leadership & Wealth Management and Career Pathways/Design Seminar. You will choose one additional, different course, like Spanish 1. 

Choose Your Alternates

Fingers cross you get your first choice! But, you also need to select 3 alternates. Alternates are your back up choices, if for some reason you don't get your first pick. If you don't pick any alternates, and the classes you pick are full your counselor will have to pick your classes for you. Make sure you pick different electives than you chose in your Pathway selections.
