Each student is assigned to a guidance counselor who is the best person to consult when planning a high school program. Work with him or her and your parents to build your four year high school program carefully so that you will meet college and/or job requirements and also take advantage of the wide range of course offerings at Belmont High School. It is helpful to draw up a tentative four-year program before or during the ninth grade. By doing so, you can see what choices you might have to make and schedule your courses to fit your program. Many courses are sequential, so it is necessary to plan ahead.

Placement review forms can be obtained through the guidance office or through the BHS website.

Enrollment patterns and budget decisions may affect the availability of courses. The inclusion of a course in the Program of Studies does not guarantee that a particular course will be scheduled next year.

Most colleges suggest that you take a challenging and well-rounded academic program. You should check college catalogues for specific requirements.

An important rule to follow is: keep all your options open – if you are uncertain about your long range goals, follow a broad, general program of studies which will prepare you for almost any college major. Be sure to check graduation requirements for each discipline and remember you will need 100 credits to graduate and you must enroll in six courses each semester.
