PREFACE

This handbook has been prepared to assist the student in selecting a program of study commensurate with both his/her interests and abilities. A single selection of a course may, to a great extent, govern your future academic or vocational plans. You must consider your previous academic record, your interests, and also your tested aptitudes and abilities before making a final decision.

Students, as well as parents, should contact a counselor or administrator if, at any time, the handbook does not contain the information you are seeking.
