Westborough High School

Happy February Vacation!  We have all earned this time to rest and enjoy a little time to ourselves.  A focus of this newsletter is starting to look at the course selection process for next year.  This Program of Studies describes the courses and programs that will be available to students at Westborough High School for the upcoming school year.  We are very fortunate to have a community that strongly supports comprehensive curriculum offerings in our high school. We enjoy a school facility that is second to none, and the community’s generous investment in public education demands that each of us make the very best use of the opportunities provided.

Selecting appropriate courses for study involves a careful review of personal interests, aspirations, academic development, strengths, and a growing understanding of post-secondary options for college and careers.  As you plan your schedule, pay close attention to the various course levels, course prerequisites, and graduation requirements.  Students who select multiple Advanced Placement accelerated, or honors classes should note the rigorous expectations attached to homework and special assignments.

Our course selection process places a great deal of responsibility on students and parents.  Please approach this critical task with care and seriousness.  This will ensure that proper consideration is given to the appropriateness of the courses selected.  If you require assistance in determining the appropriate level of a course or selection of electives, please seek out a School Counselor. Our commitment to maintaining reasonable class size and the comprehensiveness of programs demands that the master schedule be developed with accurate data.

Please actively discuss your schedule for next year with parents, teachers, and our School Counseling staff.  Best wishes for a successful year ahead.

Best,

Mr. Brian M. Callaghan
Principal
