Graduation Requirements :: Overview :: Regular :: CORE 40 :: Honors

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.
    Students may request schedule changes until the last day of school. No other change request will be honored unless the student has been misplaced in a course, a scheduling error has occurred, a change is needed to ensure timely graduation, or another emergency situation exists.

Three types of diplomas can be earned: Regular, CORE 40 or Academic Honors.
