The school counseling time is excited to begin the 2025-2026 course selection process in February for all current 8th graders. Course selection will occur electronically. Please review these instructions and contact your student’s counselor if you have any questions. The 2025-2026 High School Program of Studies, Career Cluster Alignment to Courses at NBC High School Guide, Department Sequence Charts, High School Program of Studies Video Series and the Four-Year Planning Tool are available on the High School Counseling Department Web Page to assist students and parents as they make course selections.
The academic directors will be conducting group presentations with all current 8th graders before February 28, 2025. During this time, they will briefly discuss career pathways, the course selection process, start the four-year planning process, and assist the students in beginning a preliminary schedule. The school counselors will conduct individual meetings with all 8th graders to confirm their course selections starting in March.
The timeline below indicates the dates that the PowerSchool Parent Portal will be accessible for course selection and dates for student/counselor scheduling meetings. Please feel free to reach out to your son/daughter’s school counselor with any questions or concerns.
