Course Description Book

Dear Students:

The mission of the Howard-Suamico School District is to work together with families and community to ensure that our students have the knowledge and skills to succeed in a changing world. Bay Port High School offers a well rounded educational experience for every person who attends in order to achieve our mission.

As you look through this course description guide keep your future as your focus.

Choose classes that interest and challenge you while keeping your career aspirations in mind. Your current plans after graduation may be to attend technical college, two year college, four year university, enroll in the military, or enter the work force. All of these are excellent options and it is our goal to guide and prepare you for the path you choose. Whatever your plans, make choices that assist you in meeting your goals. Take advantage of the academic opportunities that Bay Port offers in an effort to prepare you for your plans following graduation.

When looking through this guide keep in mind that when we schedule you for classes we attempt to make sure everyone can take everything they request. That means that your first choices are critical. It is very difficult to accommodate your requests when you change your mind after making your first selections.

Take some time to look through the entire guide with your parents. If you have questions about classes make sure to ask your school counselor, a teacher, or an administrator. It is our job, along with your parents, to assist you in this planning process for high school and your future.

Thanks,

Mike Frieder
Principal
