Curriculum Office & Course Registration

At the high school level, the Curriculum Office refers to course registration as the comprehensive process that involves signing up for the next school year's courses for our students. The process begins in November with the construction of the course offering publications including optional elective and core classes that students may be interested in learning.

At the beginning of the 2nd semester, the Curriculum Office places students in next year's core classes based on the performance in their first semester grades. Teachers can alter the course level and placements as well during this initial stage. Counselors are also conducting individual and group meetings with students to review four-year plans, introduce possible electives and answer questions. As courses are entered, students and their families can view the courses.

After this step, students are given the opportunity to sign up for electives in their courses to continue their pathway and learning in subjects that may interest them. This also includes potentially applying to Grayson Technical School and/or Maxwell High School to pursue college and career opportunities they may provide.

During March and April, students and their families are provided course selection sheets to potentially adjust. During this stage, students can change electives and/or levels of courses (parental signatures are required). Please understand that our counselors are meeting and completing schedules to ensure that students are taking the courses they need to fulfill their academic goals.

Right before the end of the school year, students are given their final course request document and one more opportunity to change electives and levels of courses. These requests are not guaranteed because of space in courses and personnel restrictions at GHS.

If you have questions about your schedule, please email Mr. Gagliotti at adam.gagliotti@gcpsk12.org.
