  1. Welcome to the HHS9 Course Registration Presentation. You should have picked up three items: Course registration packet (stapled yellow forms) Additional scheduling information (stapled multi-colored forms) LISD Course Description Guide Book

  2. Registration Packets • Registration instructions • Course Request Sheet • PAP Challenge Form • Registration Form • Food Allergies Form • Declaration of Endorsement Form All of the yellow forms in the registration packet should be turned in along with the course request sheet and the print-out of the course request submission in Career Cruising.

  3. The top page of the registration packet is the registration directions give step-by-step instructions for completing the course selection process.

  4. Please read each step carefully to complete the course selection process

  5. The front page of the course request sheet lists all the courses that are offered to 9th Graders and housed at the HHS9 Campus.

  6. The back side of the course request sheet lists all the courses that are offered to 9th Graders, but are housed at the HHS main campus or at the Career Centers.

  7. Other Required Credits for graduation Choose one from each Category • English • Math • Biology • Social Study (World Geography is suggested) • Fine Arts Credit • PE Credit • 2 Credits of Foreign Language (wait for 10th Grade to start your language…) Choose a selection from each core category – that should equal 4 choices. Next choose 4 more choices (or if you choose 9-weeks courses, 8 choices). We highly recommend that if you have not started a foreign language in middle school, you wait until 10th Grade to take your credits of foreign language.

  8. Courses of Interest(9-weeks) • Teen Leadership • Personal Financial Literacy • Professional Communications Courses that have been popular with past 9th Graders are Teen Leadership and Professional Communications (these courses are college readiness courses and teach public speaking skills). Personal Financial Literacy is a new course that helps students learn to master their personal finances.

  9. All students must complete their 4-year plan on Career Cruising and complete their endorsement declaration. Your middle school counselors will be guiding you through the 4-year planning process. Once you have found your suggested career clusters, you can choose your endorsement and elective courses that are part of that endorsement.

  10. Read the LISD Course Description Guide • Endorsements explained • Examples of 4-year plans with endorsements • GPA explained • Descriptions of the courses on the course selection sheet. Read the LISD Course Description Guide pgs 15-30 for information about the new Foundations Plan and endorsements.

  11. If a student wants to take a PAP or AP course, they MUST sign the PAP/AP Challenge form. This form outlines the rigor and expectations of the PAP/AP courses.

  12. All students must complete the registration form

  14. Example Schedule 1st HHS9 and HHS follow an accelerated block schedule, which means that students take four courses in the fall and four different courses in the spring. Students have the opportunity to gain 8 total credits by following this schedule. 2nd 3rd 4th
