Germantown High School offers a comprehensive curriculum to meet the diverse interests and needs of students. Courses offered prepare students for successful entry into the world of work or continued schooling upon graduation.

Prior to reviewing courses and completing course registration, it is important to review the following:

>>Course Scheduling and Graduation Requirements:
This page outlines important information about course scheduling, schedule changes, graduation requirements, grading guidelines, and incoming transfer credits.

>>GHS Course Program Options:
Learn more about different special course program options at GHS including honor courses, independent study, international exchange opportunities, work-study placements, and college dual credit programs.

>>Academic and Career Planning:
It is strongly recommended students utilize the resources and links on this page to guide their selection of high school courses and develop post-secondary plans. Students are encouraged to use the scheduling process to plan a strong four-year sequence that can be used as a springboard into a career field - either through technical schooling, a four-year college program, apprenticeships, or other special career programs after high school graduation. Examples of resources include:

• Outlined career pathways with aligning courses

• Academic preparation chart with a comparison of what credits you are required to take to graduate vs. the minimum numbers of credits that are required for admission into UW-System schools and selective colleges

• Information pertaining to Advanced Placement (AP) courses, Early College Credit and Start College Now Programs, Co-Op and Youth Apprenticeships

Counselors in our Student Services Department are here to help support students through the process of scheduling courses, college planning, testing, career opportunities, academic support, counseling, and more.

Each December, school counselors assign classroom time to go over this information with students; however, it is strongly recommended parents also take time reviewing this information. At any time, students and parents are encouraged to contact a school counselor for clarification, additional information, or any assistance they may need in the course selection process.

Below, school counselor contact information is laid out for each counselor, as well as an option to schedule a meeting time. You will notice counselors are assigned based on student last name.

Below, courses are categorized by subject area. Please click on the associated link to view which courses in that subject matter are available and/or required at each grade level. Course descriptions include a summary of the course along with details about the length of the course (semester or year), credit amount, grade level, and any associated fees or prerequisites.

This plan is a personal road map to the high school years and is best used to outline the courses required at GHS.
