Things to consider DON T take a class because of who teaches it. Staffing changes from year to year DON T sign up for classes just because your friend is signing up for that course. Most courses have multiple sections and you can not pick the specific section you want. DO remember.this is high school and EVERY grade you earn can have an impact on your future plans.
Things to consider NCAA requirements National Collegiate Athletic Association requirements are for those students who are active in high school sports and hope to participate in collegiate sports on a Division l or Division II level.
