Course selection for the 2024-2025 academic year begins February 13, 2024, and ends March 4, 2024.

Each year at the start of the second semester, students in grades 8-11 use OnCourse Connect to request high school electives to be taken in the upcoming school year. Placement in academic courses is based on a student meeting the eligibility requirements for the course.

The steps in the course selection process are as follows:

1. Teachers enter academic placements for which students are eligible based on prerequisites

2. Students enter four (4) electives that they would be happy taking.

3. Counselors will make appointments with all students to discuss an overall program plan, including appropriate modifications to course requests for the upcoming school year.

4. If a student does not meet the eligibility requirements for a course, a waiver form can be found below. Waiver forms must be submitted by April 22, 2024.

PLEASE NOTE:

• If you decide to change an elective request AFTER meeting with your counselor, you must contact your counselor to make the change. Do NOT make the change through OnCourse Connect.

• Student requests for changes in electives will not be accepted after April 22, 2024.

We were pleased to offer this informative presentation recently at HVCHS, thanks to Ms. Riley and our department supervisors. It focuses on the course offerings at HVCHS, and will help you prepare for the scheduling process. A copy of the slides is linked below, for those who missed the in-person program or who would like to review the information that was covered.

If you would like to take a course for which you do not meet the prerequisite, you may choose to complete the 2024-2025 HVCHS Academic Waiver Form. This form must be returned to your School Counselor prior to the April 22 deadline.

Please be sure to read the conditions outlined on the form prior to submission. Please also understand that academic placements are reconsidered following the third marking period, so students may wish to wait until the marking period ends to determine whether or not a waiver is necessary.
