ENROLLMENT 2010-2011
By John Calabro
February 10, 2010
ACHS is committed to helping students live their adult lives to the fullest potential. The enrollment guide was created with this in mind, and includes information necessary to prepare students for their choice, whether it is further education or the world of work.
Over the next couple of months, our staff will utilize a number of opportunities to help students become better informed about these classes and the requirements. It is important for students and parents to take advantage of these opportunities and make appropriate decisions as they plan their schedules.
Many of our courses are required for graduation; however, there are also a number of courses available to meet individual student interest. Students need to take courses that are challenging, and it is their responsibility to choose carefully and wisely. Selections should be directly related to a four-year plan of study.
Enrollment is an important process for everyone. From the pre-enrollment information, the staff will prepare class schedules and assign teachers. Please remember that it will be very difficult to make changes at a later date. We will make every effort to ensure that original choices can be realized; on the other hand, we must always take into consideration the limitations of class size and availability of staff positions.
Our entire staff stands ready to advise students to make the most of their high school education. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance in your endeavors.
