Course Selections | Ballots

The EHS Counseling Department recently held presentations on course selection, covering graduation requirements, A-G criteria, required courses, electives, and new offerings. Presentation materials, including slides, the EHS Course Catalog, and course selection ballots, are available online.
Students must submit completed course selection ballots during individual counselor meetings. A parent/guardian signature is required for acceptance.
For questions, contact your counselor:
Student-athletes completing a season of sport, in good standing, will be given one semesters worth of credit, and grade, for Physical Education. Criteria for credit is outlined below:
  1. Freshmen are not eligible for this credit.
  2. Seniors that are behind in Physical Education credits for graduation will be required to
    take a Physical Education class to ensure graduation.
  3. Student-athletes choosing to take a Physical Education class will not receive credit for
    athletic participation. Student-athletes taking a regular Physical Education class will
    receive credits and grades for the class as they do all other classes. Students will not be
    allowed to take a semester of Physical Education and receive credit for one sport
    participation. Students signing up for Physical Education will complete the entire, yearlong, course.
  4. Each completed sport season will count for a semester’s credit in Physical Education.
    For credit, a student-athlete must finish the season in good standing. Student-athletes that
    are removed from a team for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no Physical
    Education credit. Student-athletes that quit part way through a season will receive no
    Physical Education credit. Student-athletes that are injured during the season, having
    already made the team, will be given credit for completion of the season in good standing.
    Injured student-athletes will be asked to support their team in a manner deemed
    appropriate by their coach.
  5. A student-athlete can receive no fewer than five units and no more than ten units of P.E.
    credit each year. This means that three sport student-athletes will receive two semesters
    of Physical Education credit per year.
  6. Grades for athletic participation will be given. The athletic director will supervise
    grading with input from coaches. Grading will ultimately be the responsibility of the
    athletic director. A student-athlete that practices every day, and is present for all events,
    will receive an “A” grade for participation unless coach has contacted parents and athletic
    director and made it clear why the grade is being lowered. Effort by student-athlete in
    practice can be a factor. Problems in this area must be brought to the attention of the
    parents, by phone call or notice, and athletic director, prior to an athlete’s grade being
    lowered.
  7. Credits and grades will not be registered until the season for a team is finished. At that
    time, credits and grades for each grading period of participation will be given. Fall sports
    will be given credits and grades for grading period one, two, and three, winter and spring
    sports for grading periods four, five and six. This means that the grade for a studentathlete’s participation will not be factored into their overall grade point average until their
    sport is done and, therefore, not help the student-athlete in terms of eligibility for the first
    grading period of their sport.
  8. Student-athletes competing in two consecutive sports (i.e. fall, winter or winter, spring)
    will be given credits and grades for two consecutive semesters.
  9. Any student-athlete in grades 10 through12 who did not pass 5 of 6 Physical Fitness
    Standards are not eligible for athletic PE credit and must enroll in a Physical Education
    course to satisfy the 2-year PE requirement.
