Below you will find information about student pathway classes and how students can register for their classes. Students will only be selecting their elective classes for next year. Please read the online instructions carefully. Students will be making their pathway selection.

Below is a brief description of the pathways so you and your student can make an informed decision. For more information, please visit our the Course Registration Handbook.
