AHS students will register for courses for school year 2010-2011 on the Course Planner section of Career Cruising.  Because Career Cruising is an internet-based program, students can work on their schedules at any computer with internet access.  Counselors will meet with all students in computer labs to assist them in their course selections.  (See calendar for specific dates.)  For students without computer access, all tutors in the Go Center have been trained in Course Planner and are ready to assist students in registering for next year.  The Go Center is located in A106 from 10:30-12:26 and A101 from 12:26-4:00 Monday-Thursday and until 3:00 on Friday.    A PowerPoint presentation and a Word document can be found under the "Documents and Presentations" section explaining how to register for courses in Course Planner.  Please be aware that credits earned are in the process of being updated and may not be accurate until mid-February.                                                                                                        

Students may register to take an AP exam from February 1 - February 19. Students should bring their picture ID to the main counseling office before/after school or at lunch. Each exam costs $13.00, and checks may be made out to "AHS Guidance".

The annual Colt Trail Drive will be held at 6:30pm on February 8th.  This is a freshman orientation evening for 8th graders and their parents to introduce them  to everything that Arlington High has to offer!  Students can get information about their elective choices, see the band, orchestra, and choir perform and even learn some of our traditional cheers!  The fun begins at 6:30 pm in the auditorium.  A session will also be held that explains high school credits and how the students will register for their classes for high school.

An information meeting about the IB programme will be held in the library prior to the Trail Drive at 6:00.
