Planning a four-year high school program is a serious undertaking. Although many of your courses will be determined by the graduation plan you select, you will still have many other choices to make during your years of school. Your course selection should be guided largely by your plans for the future. 

Coppell ISD provides a wide range of programs that prepare learners for post-high school experiences. The programs offered allow a learner to choose the most appropriate high school program, whether that program is the traditional college preparatory or a career preparatory program. By planning wisely, you can create the future that is most appropriate for you. 

This guidebook is designed to help you select courses during your high school years that will support your future education and employment plans. The majority of employment opportunities require specific skills and education beyond high school. Determining which direction you want to go is not always easy. To help you decide on your pathway there are several tools that are available to you. One tool Coppell ISD offers is the Major Clarity platform. 

Coppell High School counselors recommend that all learners explore the career exploration features in Major Clarity listed below to help align course selections with future goals.
