Pathway Completed

Students are expected to complete at least

one Pathway sequence. Pathways consist of

three sequential courses (they must be

taken in order). Pathways can either be

CTAE, academic, world language, or fine arts.

World Language Required?

Students do NOT have to take a world

language to graduate. If you want to be

eligible to enroll directly in a four-year

college following graduation, however, you

must complete two credits of the same

world language.

AP Courses

Advanced Placement courses allow you to

take a college-level class at NPHS. If you

score high enough on the AP test at the end

of the year, you could earn college credit. If

you wish to take an AP class next year,

please talk with your current teacher.

Move On When Ready

The Move On When Ready program allows

students to earn both high school and

college credit at the same time. If you are

interested in this program, please visit the

NPHS MOWR web page for more info!



Work-Based Learning

Approved juniors or seniors can leave to

work in a job tied to their Pathway. Need

more info? See the WBL website for info!

Requests vs. Actual Classes

We always stress to students and their

families that they are making course

requests for next year, not actually signing

up for specific classes. When the master

schedule is finalized over the summer,

conflicts may develop between course

requests and actual periods that certain

courses will be offered. Because of this

potential conflict, students are asked to

select several alternate courses. If a student

cannot be scheduled for their top choices,

every attempt will be made to schedule

them into the alternatives they indicated

during registration.

If a student requests a course or an

alternative course during registration, they

will not be allowed to make changes to

those courses next fall semester. Once the

master schedule is set, we lose a great deal

of our flexibility in making changes (due to a

finite number of teachers and available

seats). Please advise your students to

consider their choices carefully before

making their course requests.

Promotion Requirements:

In order to be considered ¡°promoted¡± to the

next grade level in high school, a student

must earn a minimum number of credits by

the end of each year. In other words, you

have to pass your classes!

10th Grade = earn 5 credits by end of 9th

11th Grade = earn 11 credits by end of 10th

12th Grade = earn 17 credits by end of 11th

If a student fails to earn the required

number of credits, he or she will be

considered a ¡°repeater¡± for the next year.

Getting off-track means that a student will

not graduate on time unless he or she

completes additional coursework during

summer school or by some other means (see

your counselor for more info on options).
