Planning for the 24-25 school year is underway. In a continued effort to pave the way for the successful transition to the next school year, we are writing to provide you with resources and a timeline of important deadlines that will assist you with the scheduling process. The Madison High School Guidance Department is looking forward to meeting with you and your child in the coming weeks and building a schedule that best fits your child’s needs.
24-25 Course Offerings Guide
To best prepare for your child’s scheduling meeting, please review the 24-25 Course Offerings Guide. This guide is designed to assist students and parents with the course selection process. Madison High School offers a wide variety of courses in an effort to meet the needs of all students. This document provides a brief description of our courses. Selection of classes is based on recommendations of teachers, study skills, grades, standardized test scores, advice of parents and counselors, and your particular interests and plans for the future. The Guidance Department encourages you to read this booklet before you meet with your school counselor to schedule your classes.
