March scheduling is coming up soon, and it’s time to pick your classes. If they have not already done so, Mrs. Mogel and Dr. Howick will be coming to your classes to talk with you about your options depending on your grade level. When they come to your class, they will give you a paper form with all the class options for next year.
You get the options to pick your primary courses, which are English, mathematics, science, and social studies, referring to history or government courses. If you’re going into your senior year and already have all of your main credits, then you’ll have a variety of electives to choose from—though you still have to take English every year.
Electives include art studies, band, chorus, theater arts, yearbook, journalism, world languages (including French and Spanish), business courses (such as intro to business, marketing, and financial literacy), technology education (foundations of tech, CAD, manufacturing, robotics, and multimedia technology), family and consumer science courses (adventures with food, international and advanced foods, and surviving and thriving adulthood), and further social studies (criminal justice and psychology).
Additionally, internships, volunteerism, and AP courses are available with expressed written permission. AP courses include AP Psychology, AP US History, AP World History, AP Language and Composition, and AP Literature. Crawford County Career and Technical Center courses and affordable dual enrollment options are also available for interested students, who should seek assistance from guidance for more information.
If you don’t have all your credits by senior year, you will have to take the remaining required classes that year. If you are in eighth or ninth grade, you’ll have to take health/physical education, so you can choose from three electives for the next year. Tenth- through twelfth-grade students have the optional choice of gym class, but they don’t need to take it if their requirements have already been met; it’s only required for seventh through ninth grade.
As the grades pass, you’ll gain more freedom in what classes you get to take, but you have to get all of your required classes done first so that you can get all of your credits for graduation. If you don’t pass all of your required courses, you won’t be able to graduate unless you take summer courses to gain the credit back.
In addition to completing their physical scheduling papers handed out by guidance, students must also submit their online schedule request forms using the class registration tool on PowerSchool. Requests are due by Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Meeting these deadlines is essential in ensuring your choice of courses is met, so don’t delay.
In conclusion, scheduling for classes next year is coming up, and you should make sure to choose classes that you think you should take, not just classes that all of your friends are taking, because that will just make the class even harder.
