As students plan their programs of study, the following considerations should be kept in mind:

1) Advanced study beyond state requirements is not only highly recommended, but is also a prerequisite to certain college programs, e.g. engineering, nursing, pre-med, business management, pre-law, etc.

2) Biology followed by chemistry and then physics is the science course sequence recommended by the state colleges of Ohio.

3) Language study for at least two years in the same language is recommended for students who have average proficiency in English and plan to enter college. Some Ohio colleges are recommending three years of a foreign language study for unconditional acceptance.

4) On the recommendation of the Principal, qualified senior students who are interested may take courses at local colleges for college credit within the limitation of their high school schedule.
