It’s that time of year when we need you to enter your requests for next year in PowerSchool. There are a few new courses being offered.
Popular Music 10-20-30 (3 or 5 credits)
Students in Popular Music will explore music trends of the past and present through basic music theory and music making experiences. Various topics will include but are not limited to: Music and Technology; Jazz, Rock, Country, and Pop Music; Music History; and Careers in Music. Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics on an instrument of their choosing (voice, bass guitar, electric guitar, piano, drum kit, and wind instruments are available) to explore the topics mentioned above. This course is for you if you want to interact with and learn about music, without a public performance aspect. This course will be offered every second day, the 3 credit course will be for 1 semester and the 5 credit course will be for the full year.

Students registered in CALM + Mechanics will earn 3 credits for CALM, and 1 credit each in MEC 1020 Vehicle Service and Care, MEC 2020 Vehicle Maintenance, and MEC 3010 Buying and Selling a Vehicle.
This course is designed for students who want to learn the basics of how their vehicle works, how to perform a few basic repairs on their own to cut down ownership costs, and when certain vehicle systems need to be serviced. Students will also learn tips on how to get the best deal when it comes to buying and selling a vehicle and what to look out for. Students who take CALM+Mechanics will not be able to take the intermediate and advanced courses for Mechanics because they will not have the required prerequisites.
