Dear Students (and Parents),
Welcome to Morristown West High School. This Program of Studies is
an important tool for you in establishing your high school academic plans.
This document has been designed to acquaint you with your options and to guide
you through the course selection process. With our 4X4 block scheduling, you
will have the opportunity to take eight credits per year for a total of 32
classes over the length of your four-year high school career. Along with
challenging academic and core courses, you will have opportunities through our
Career Academy/Majors program to either sample career areas of interest or get
a head start on your life’s work.
Your Guidance Counselor will assist you in this process. Our
desire is to help you realize your educational and career goals. Each of you
will have an individual conference with a counselor during advisement periods.
Parents are invited and encouraged to attend these conferences. If a parent
cannot attend, a course selection sheet will be sent home for parent
signature. Counselors and teachers will be glad to assist students with
choices but final responsibility rests with students and parents. There is
flexibility built into our program so that if your desires change, we can
adjust the four year plan. We want you to push yourself academically and take
full advantage of provided opportunities.
Your time with us should be used wisely with sights set on
providing sound preparation for your next step in life.....YOUR FUTURE. That
step may be the workforce or it might be higher education. Our objective is
to help you achieve at your highest desired level and we want your highest
desired level to be beyond your comfort zone. We want you to push yourself!
You’ll reach any goal, regardless of how lofty if we work as a
team....student, parent, teacher, guidance counselor, and assigned
administrator. After you leave us we want you to look back on your experience
here as one that was both challenging and fulfilling. Working together and
working hard....anything is possible!
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeff Moorhouse, Ed.D.
Principal
