[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, solid foundation in Algebra
then most rigorous calculus offered
statistics
graphing classes
AP CS Principles
+ most rigorous CS courses offered

If your high school doesn't offer these, then consider taking summer classes in same at a community college or as a non-degree student at a four-year college.[/quote]

OP here. This is helpful. Our school system (not local) is on the "Block System" so the students take a year long class in a semester. According to all the suggestions, I came up with this for math, science and electives. Thoughts?

Math:
Geometry w/Data Analysis (honors - follows his current accelerated math track)
Algebra II w/Statistics (honors - follows his current math track)
AP Precalculus
AP Calculus (AB? BC?)
Applications of Finite Mathematics

Science:
Honors Biology
Honors Physics
AP Physics (different options are offered)

Electives that count as math and/or science:
AP Computer Science Principles (offered 10th-12th)
AP Computer Science A (offered 10th-12th)

Electives:
Exploring Computer Science
Foundations of Engineering and Technology
Computer Engineering and Technology 
Basic Programming for Engineers
Robotic Systems (maybe)
