Students and parents are invited to play an active role in the scheduling process. Students can review the graduation requirements and course offerings through our WRHS Educational Guide, review prior grades in PowerSchool and revisit career clusters and pathways that have been revealed through Naviance.

The scheduling process involves three parts.

1) Recommendations for course levels will be inputted into PowerSchool for students

2) Students review those recommendations in PowerSchool, select their core classes, and choose electives based on their interests.

3) Students meet individually with their counselors to review their choices and finalize their course requests for next year.
