Step Seven: Select your alternate classes

Electives are courses that you get to choose based on your interests and goals.They can be classes needed for college entrance or classes that offer content that is interesting to you.Students are required to have at least 5 elective classes to graduate. Although most of the time the master schedule allows for students to have their first choice in electives, students are not guaranteed to get scheduled into the elective classes of their choice. Choosing enough classes for counselors to use to create a schedule is critical.List your elective choices in priority order. We will work from choice number 1 down to choice 10 until you have a full schedule.
