Course Selection & Scheduling Information

General Information & Introduction

West Shore School District is committed to providing this generation with a quality education serving as a foundation for responsible and successful citizenship.

Our goal is to provide a personalized educational experience for all learners in order to meet individual interests, needs, future plans, and career goals. We understand that making program and course decisions in high school can be a challenge but hope our interactive website will assist you in the process.

This area of our website is designed to help students prepare a four-year academic and career education plan with assistance from parents/guardians and school staff. High school scheduling should occur with an intentional focus on post-secondary goals such as college, military options, and/or entry-level employment opportunities. A personalized academic and career education roadmap will provide the necessary direction and will assure students have been properly prepared to navigate not only high school but also life after high school. Selected coursework should be rigorous and relevant for each student with the academic courses ideally aligned to a selected career field, and program and then ultimately with selected pathways. While a student’s plan may be modified at any time, it is recommended that initial planning encompass the four years of high school and beyond.

On behalf of the West Shore School District, I wish each student success during the high school years, and look forward to working with students, parents/guardians, and staff to provide the best educational experience.

Sincerely,

Tammi Jones, Ed.D.
Director of Secondary Education
