Current Course Offerings & Descriptions

Timeline for Course Registrations for 2025-2026 SY

 

Important Dates for Current NHS Students (9th -11th Grade) for 2025-2026

It’s time for current Norcross students to think about courses for the 2025-2026 school year. As students consider which courses they wish to take, they need to keep in mind that Norcross High School does yearlong registration. This means students register for the entire 2025-2026 school year this spring. Therefore, students need to make sure they CAREFULLY consider their choices. We hire teachers in the spring based upon the courses students select. Students will have the best chance of being enrolled in the classes they prefer if they request them in January. We are unable to make schedule changes after the Course Correction period in February. “Changing your mind” about taking a course is not a valid reason for a schedule change so please choose wisely and plan ahead.

A projected timeline for creating student schedules is below. In addition, a variety of other information is available for students and their families. 

Tuesday, January 7 – Wednesday, January 15

  • NHS Teachers speak with current students about course placements for 205-2026 School Year

Tuesday, January 14 – Friday, January 17

  • Current 9th-11th grade students learn about Elective Course Offerings, Course Descriptions, Course Selection Process and Timeline for students to select their electives for the 2025-2026 school year.

  • Maxwell HS of Technology and Grayson Tech will be at Norcross HS during all lunches on Thursday, January 16. Students can learn about what is offered at both schools and get support in filling out applications.

  •  On January 17, Norcross HS will be hosting an Electives Fair during all lunches. Students will be able to hear from all elective teachers about the different elective courses and pathways offered.

Monday, January 27 - Wednesday, January 29

  • Elective Registration/Elective Preference Process for current 9th-11th grade students - Students will be filling out a form where they will rank their top 6 electives in order of preference.  This form will be used in case there are student schedule conflicts and/or if classes are full.  We will then go to the student’s 4th-6th choices, so it is imperative they take the Elective Course Preference form and process seriously since this will ultimately determine their elective courses for the next school year.

  • A screencast will be provided to students with the directions on how to select elective courses.

Wednesday, February 19 – Friday, February 28  

  • Schedule Corrections for current 9th-11th grade students

Students will review their High School courses in StudentVUE which will outline all their courses for the 2025-2026 school year. Students will have one last chance to review their course selections for 2025-2026 and update their courses during this time. 

  • If a change is needed, students should complete the NHS Schedule Correction Form, have a parent sign the form and turn the form in to the Counseling Office no later than Friday, February 28. Forms will be available in the NHS Counseling Office. Any course requests made after the deadline will not be accepted.

Monday, May 12 – Friday, May 16

  • Rising 10th-12th grade students will receive a final list of courses in StudentVue that students can expect to be on their schedule in the fall. No course changes can be made at this time.
