Course Descriptions and Scheduling
In an effort to have each student plan their coursework for the following year, all students receive the Course Request sheet appropriate to their grade level (see below) during scheduling meetings with the DHS counselors. After the students choose their courses, they have until March 15 to enter those course requests into PowerSchool. Any student who misses the deadline will have their courses entered into PowerSchool by their high school counselor. These courses will be up to the discretion of the counselor.
To see which courses are offered for next year, for each grade level, please view the appropriate attachments below. Please note that it is possible that some courses on the lists below may not actually be available due to lack of requests or Master Schedule conflicts.
