The Curriculum Guide lists and describes all courses currently offered at Bloomington High School South. When making your selections, consider carefully your status in fulfilling high school graduation requirements, your needs for college admission, and your career plans. Students are urged to keep the curriculum guide for future use; in addition to course descriptions, it contains information on such items as graduation requirements, regulations for class withdrawal, policy for repeating a course, and other facts you may need for reference and planning.
The course
selection process at BHSS begins with student and parent meetings in
January
and spans several weeks to allow for thoughtful decision-making.
Students’
schedule choices must be made carefully using all of the resources
available to
them: family, teacher and counselor discussions, high school
transcripts, the
curriculum guide, career cluster information, post-secondary goals and
interests. |
