Study Hall Students may choose to take a traditional Study Hall in addition to House. Is recommended for students who do not have time after school to work on homework (due to athletics or extra-curriculars). There is no credit value awarded to a Study Hall but this will NOT put students behind on credits.

Drop Policy Students will only be able to drop courses ONE time during their high school career without penalty after the first two weeks of the start of a course. A “W” indicating Withdrawal from the course will be entered on the transcript. This does not affect the GPA. All courses dropped after this option is used, will result in an ‘F’ for the final grade. This will be entered on the transcript and will affect the GPA.

Applications Due February 1st! Applications are available today, and can be found on website 9th grade classes that require applications: Spanish 1 or French 1 Honors/Humanities English and World Studies
