inco-curricular activities. |
You can count on parents and teachers to remind
you of your responsibilities and to guide you in setting priorities. |
You must balance your responsibilities
and set priorities. You will face moral and ethical decisions you
have never faced before. |
Each day you proceed from one class directly
to another, spending 6 hours each – 30 hours a week-in class. |
You often have hours between classes;
class times vary throughout the day & evening and you spend
only 12 to 16 hours each week in class. |
Most of your classes are arranged for you. |

Graduation requirements are complex, and differ
from year to year. You are expected to know those that
apply to you. |
