High School Course Planning Guide

This High School Course Planning Guide has been developed for the students and parents in the Park Hill School District to present important information about programs and courses offered at the high school campuses.

Students and parents should be able to combine the information in the Career and Education Planning Guide with advice received from teachers, counselors, and administrators in order to make decisions about courses that will provide students with the education they need for their future plans.

Students and parents are encouraged to utilize the High School Career and Education Planning Guide, located below as well as each school website.

Students develop an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) to guide them toward their post-graduation and career goals. It is important to select courses very carefully to fulfill that plan. Although this High School Course Planning Guide has fairly definitive explanations of each course approved for offering in the PHSD high schools, questions often arise about course content or graduation requirements. Please address those questions to the high school counselors and principals. Faculty and staff are excited about the opportunities available for students in the Park Hill School District.

Use the panels below to learn more about each section.

Notice of Non-Discrimination

The Park Hill School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, ancestry, disability, age, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law, in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Further, in accordance with federal law, the district provides equal access to its facilities to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups. The assistant superintendent for human resources has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies. In the event the assistant superintendent for human resources is unavailable or is the subject of the report, reports should be directed instead to the acting compliance officer, which is the executive director for quality and evaluation.

This notice is available in large print or audiotape from the district’s assistant superintendent for human resources or the director of special services. Any person may also contact the assistant secretary for civil rights, U.S. Department of Education, regarding Park Hill’s compliance with nondiscrimination laws and regulations. See Board Policies AC and ACA for more information regarding the district’s non-discrimination policies and procedures.
