STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Dear Parents and Students,
Argyle School District is proud to offer an academic program that is designed to prepare all students on the path to high school graduation and beyond. This course guide was prepared by the faculty and administration of Argyle High School to assist you in selecting your courses for the 2021-2022 school year. At the secondary level, students have the opportunity to choose from a full range of courses, including advanced academics, an array of career and technology programs, fine arts, and a comprehensive selection of elective courses. In middle school and high school, reviewing and selecting courses is the most important step in planning an academic program of study.
This course guide is provided to assist students and parents in making wise decisions concerning programs and course choices. Please carefully review the information in this guide prior to course selection for the upcoming year. Students are urged to discuss their course choices with their parents and to consider how certain courses meet their individual goals, graduation requirements, and expectations for college and/or career. It is extremely important that students and parents give careful consideration to selecting appropriate courses. The choices that students make on spring course selection sheets determine the availability of courses for the upcoming year. Please understand that insufficient course enrollment may result in a particular course being removed from the master schedule, so it is important to pay attention to alternate elective choices during the course selection process.
In addition, the responsibility of choosing classes is a serious one that I hope you investigate thoroughly with consideration given to creating as many opportunities for you and for your future. A collaborative team effort between students, parents, special education, administration, and the school counselor is necessary to ensure that every student leaves Argyle School District college and career ready for any endeavor they embark on in their futures. If at any time either you or your parents/guardians have questions about progress toward graduation, or the appropriateness of an educational program, you should contact the school counselor as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Nikole Smith, PK-12 Principal
