Hillsborough County Public Schools, FL > Division of Curriculum & Instruction

Today, more than ever before, it is imperative that we develop the talents and skills of all our young people. Ensuring that each student has a carefully planned, challenging course of study is an important ingredient to success. The SCHEDULING GUIDELINES document is designed to provide assistance to school personnel in planning academic programs for students in middle and senior high schools. Information included in this document was contributed by the departments of Secondary, Middle School, Non-Traditional, Technical, Career, and Adult, and Exceptional Student Education, and was compiled in the Office of Records and Academic Advisement.

We gratefully acknowledge all contributors.

This document is designed to provide school personnel with information regarding secondary student scheduling. District courses approved for middle and senior high schools are identified and described.

Only those courses that are listed in the county's program of studies course descriptions shall be offered in order to maintain consistency in the curricular programs of all schools. New titles may be added to the course listing by working closely with the specific subject area supervisors. These titles must be listed in the State Course Code Directory.

All courses listed and described herein may not necessarily be offered at each school center. Courses offered at a given school are determined by the community needs, the size of the school and the staff available.
