Introduction
This Course of Studies Catalog has been prepared to assist the students at Hicksville High School in selecting
their programs of study for the following school year. Each department has listed its proposed course offerings
and a brief description of each course. Also included are grade-level requirements, prerequisites, and credits
granted for successful completion. Students should understand the requirements for graduation, as well as
specific department requirements, when planning their programs.
Course Registration Process
Student programs reflect individual decisions, and include a number of factors: performance in present classes,
aptitude, goals, interests, and future plans. Students must choose their course of studies very
carefully and in consultation with their parents, subject teachers, and counselors. Students should select
programs that are commensurate with their abilities. Students will begin discussing course selections with their teachers in December. In January, students will begin to meet with their school counselors to review and finalize their choices. Since students may not register for a study hall, they should come to their programming conferences prepared with alternate course options.
