2020 THS Schedules Will be Available After 3:00pm Today!
Students should carefully review their schedule. Please discuss any concerns with your parents to help you determine the best choices for your future goals. Please note that FLEX classes will be assigned on the 23rd. Please do not contact your counselor or complete a form unless you are missing a FLEX class after that date.
Students wishing to make a schedule change should either complete this google form or submit a hard copy of this schedule change form to the Counseling Office. Schedule changes will be reviewed on August 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, and 28. In addition, the first five days of the semester can be utilized for schedule changes. Schedule changes requested after 2 p.m. on August 28th will not be reviewed until the first day of school.
Schedule changes will be prioritized if they are changes due to an incomplete schedule, an academic level change, or a change due to a failed class. Many classes are at capacity which will not allow for some changes.
Students will need to follow the schedule as it is posted on HAC until they have been contacted by their School Counselor.
**IF YOU WISH TO ADD AN SSL BLOCK, WORK STUDY, OPEN CAMPUS, OR AN INTERNSHIP YOU MUST SEE MRS. MUMMERT (A115), WE WILL NOT PROCESS THOSE REQUESTS THROUGH THIS SCHEDULE CHANGE FORM**
