2) Colleges only see grades and courses of the student from 9th - 11th in the student application. Therefore, make sure that you have higher weighted and impressive subjects from 9th to 11th grade on your transcripts showing a clear upwards trajectory.  Health does not add anything to your transcript and even if your public school makes it an "Honors" class, it gets discarded when the college recalculates your GPA.

This is incorrect. Colleges see 12th grade course selections for all applicants. They may or may not see grades from Q1 for ED1 and some EA, depending on both the school and the applicant. If you change courses, you must report it. For RD and typically ED2, and some EA, the colleges will see your first semester grades. They can also revoke after acceptance in extreme cases. Colleges want to see courses in 12th grade that exhibit increased rigor. [/quote]
