Reminder about Course Selection
Important Information Regarding Course Selection for Grade 9 Students
Dear Parents and Guardians:
As we prepare for the next school year, we want to be sure Grade 9 students and families are clear on the Vocational course selection process for Grade 10. All Grade 9 students were engaged in a Course Selection Workshop where the selection process was explained and their options for classes were reviewed, while Course selection was conducted at the end of March. At this time, Grade 9 students will choose a cluster (one of our agricultural departments) to narrow their focus and 2 electives from the other departments.
Important Takeaways:
Grade 9 students will choose a cluster (one of our agricultural departments) & 2 elective course from the other departments
Students who anticipate majoring in one of the Animal Science concentrations during Grades 11 & 12 must choose the corresponding Grade 10 prerequisite.
There are 7 concentrations offered in animal science for junior and senior year and each concentration has a prerequisite course a student must take in 10th grade.
This choice does not lock a student into a track, but it can exclude them come grades 11 and 12 if they have not taken the pre-requisite
Linked below, you will find the information that was reviewed with all grade 9 students. Attached are the course selection sheet and the animal science prerequisite chart below for your reference.

Grade 10 An Sci Course Selection Chart
Example: If I am a current Grade 9 student interested in majoring in the Veterinary Science Concentration during my Grade 11 & 12 years, I must be sure to select the (9245) Veterinary Science and Research Animal Technology course as part of my Grade 10 exploratory year.
We recognize this is both an exciting and challenging decision for students. We encourage students to take the courses that most most align with their vocational interests. And as always, we will help and support them through the process.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your student’s guidance counselor.
