The high school has a wide variety of course offerings some of which are required and some of which are electives. A list of required courses is found in the “Graduation Requirements” section of our website.
Each high school course is given a four-digit number that indicates the department, grade level, and difficulty of the course.
The first digit of the course number indicates which department the course belongs. For example, course #1250 would be a Bible course because a ’1′ is the first digit. The departments are arranged as follows:
| Thousands Digit | Subject Area |
|---|---|
| 1 | Bible |
| 2 | Computer Science |
| 3 | English |
| 4 | Fine Arts |
| 5 | Foreign Language |
| 6 | Health, Physical Education, and Safety |
| 7 | Mathematics |
| 8 | Science |
| 9 | Social Studies |
| 0 | Student Aides/Miscellaneous |
The second digit of the course number indicates the grade level of the students normally enrolled in the course. A 100 level course is taken by freshmen, a 200 level course is taken by sophomores, and 300 level course is taken by juniors, and a 400 level course is taken by seniors.
The third digit of the course number indicates the difficulty level of the course (academic track). A third digit of ’1′ is a basic required course or a level 1 course; ’2′ is a level 2 course; ’3′ is an honors course (level 3); and 4 is an Advanced Placement course.
The fourth digit of the course number is used merely to distinguish between similar classes within a subject area.
