Course Offerings
A Course Description Handbook is available to aid the
student and his parents/guardians in course planning and
selection.
An elective course is defined as a non-required course
chosen by the student. If this course is selected to fulfill the
course requirement for a particular year, it must be
completed. A student may not drop a required elective
course. A distinction is made between academic electives
(mathematics, science, English, etc.) and enrichment
electives (band, drama, art, etc.). A student may take no
more than one enrichment elective per year to meet the
course requirements for a particular year. Elective courses
are designated as academic or enrichment on the course
registration form. In order to take a seventh academic course
in sophomore, junior, or senior year, a student must have a
cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
21.
Course Selections and Student Schedules
During February, students select their course of study for the
next school year. Parental approval and faculty approval are
required for the program of study chosen by the student.
Once students have selected their programs of study, their
schedules of classes are processed by computer.
For reasons related to health and wellbeing, all students are
required to have a lunch period.
No requests for specific teachers will be honored.
22.
Withdrawal from Courses
A student may not withdraw from a required course. This
includes an elective course taken as one of the six courses
required each semester.
In the event a student needs to drop a course, he should
contact the Vice Principal.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Brother Rice High School recognizes the importance of extra-
curricular activities in a well-rounded high school experience and
provides the opportunity for students to participate in a variety of
programs.
Participation in all extra-curricular programs, including varsity,
junior varsity, and freshmen athletics, service organizations,
and special interest clubs is considered a privilege and not a
right of Brother Rice students. Therefore, membership on any
team or in any club is contingent upon a student's satisfactory
academic, behavioral, and financial comportment. The
privilege of participating in any extra-curricular program may
be revoked by the Administration for serious violation of any
campus rule or Student Code of Conduct.
