Elective / Pathway areas provide opportunities for students to explore areas of interest in depth beyond taking a single class in an elective area. More in depth exploration in an area of interest can help students make more informed decisions as to future plans and goals for life after high-school, giving them a better sense of direction. Students can complete most Pathways with three classes in the same area of interest. Students are welcomed and encouraged to explore different areas of interest, and also encouraged to complete one or more Pathways in areas of interest to the student.
