Dear John Jay High School students and families:

This Course Description Guide will direct you as you create a schedule for the coming school year and beyond. The choices you make with the support of your teachers and your counselor are critical to your success now and in the future.

You will have the opportunity to develop both a short and a long-term educational plan for high school with your counselor. This is a valuable exercise that we recommend to you.

While some courses are required for graduation, you will have an opportunity to select classes based on your emerging interests and goals. Be sure to engage in conversations with your teachers, counselors, families, and friends as you make your selections. All students are encouraged to take the most rigorous course offerings to ensure college and career readiness.

We look forward to learning about and supporting your choices.

Steven T. Siciliano, Ed.D. Principal
