As this school year progresses, the time has come to register for next year’s classes. Starting Feb. 20, each grade level will be taken out of their history period to talk to their counselors and finalize their class choices. For some students, this will be the last classes they take in high school, for others, this is just the beginning.
Students were given their transcript and a book of all the possible class options one week before the first round of sign-ups started. This book lists every possible class option for all grades, along with Sno-Isle classes and information on AP classes and dual credits. The transcript tells the students what credits they have finished, and what they have left to take. These items will help students pick classes that will fulfill their requirements by the end of high school.
Juniors are incredibly nervous about picking classes for it will be their last year here at Glacier Peak. This will be the last time they register for classes; they need to make sure all their required credits are fulfilled. “Next year should be pretty easy because I did all the hard classes early on, and most of my classes will be an elective class, which will be pretty easy,” Rehan Takher said, “I’m kinda excited for next year, but also nervous to go to college.”
Sophomores are hesitant, they must decide which classes fit them best, if they will take AP classes or not, or if Running Start is the best option for them. “I’m nervous for registration because I’m not sure what path I want to take, whether it be I stay here, or do high school and beyond, I’m just gonna take whatever is easiest,” Kinsi Weinmann said, “Everyone says Junior year is the worst because of the workload, I think, so I’m not sure if I’m excited to be a junior.”
Freshman are excited seeing as they will no longer be the lowest class and still have a large span of options they could take. “I don’t think it’s difficult, but I am a little nervous about what I should choose because I want to make the right decision for myself and for my future,” Isabel Gies said, “I’m nervous but I’m excited, I’m excited and nervous but I think it’s a good thing because I’m nervous because it means I care.”
