All students will take English, Math, US History, and Science. Administration will determine placement for the advanced math and English courses (this upcoming year will be based on teacher recommendations, class performance, and other tests such as Case 21 since there are no state test scores for this year due to COVID-19 closure). These advanced courses will appear on the student's schedule if he/she meets these requirements.

This year, art will earn a high school credit as students will be taking Visual Arts I, which is the same art class they are taking at HHS. It is IMPORTANT to understand the impact this grade can have on high school GPAs. The goal MUST be to get the highest grade possible in this credit class to keep that GPA up at the highest level possible---it should be as close to 4.0 as possible when entering Hernando High School. If your student is not dedicated to making sure he/she is focused on grades, waiting until 8th grade to start working on the High School transcript may be a better option.
