EHS
Course Selection Process
Exeter High School develops a master schedule that is based upon student
course
selection during the spring course registration process. Decisions affecting
the number of selections,
courses offered, and class size are estimated by these requests. Courses
selected
during registration are considered to be final choices and the course
selection sheet
signed by both students and parents is considered to be a contract commitment.
Students and parents are given sufficient time and assistance in making
choices and are
expected to make a full commitment to each course selected.
Please remember that the signed course selection sheet
is a contractual agreement that a student will take the courses
requested if the school
is able to schedule them.

Special Notes on Course Selection
Course Load: Students must carry a minimum of five courses which meet
five times
weekly each semester. In addition, Freshmen and Sophomores must also
carry a
Physical Education class. Exceptions for 5th year students needing
only 2-4 credits to
graduate.
Advanced Placement: There are some opportunities for highly motivated
students to
gain advanced standing in their freshman year of college. Outstanding work
in
specialized courses and a high score on the College Board Advanced Placement
Tests
may enable you to exempt some college courses. These exemptions are determined
solely by the colleges. If interested, see your counselor no later than February
of your
junior year.
Early Graduation: If you are highly motivated, you may qualify for
early release by
obtaining prior approval from the principal before you select your senior
year courses.
You must then complete all of your graduation requirements.
