[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, my SMAC kids friends in CAP ALWAYS stayed for the 9th period! [/quote]

CAP definitely has a ninth period -- required 9th and 10th grade, optional after that.  The question I thought was about those outside CAP and magnet.  I think they can too.  [/quote]

So in 9th CAP kids take [b](questions in bold):[/b]

Honors English (with CAP kids)
Honors History (with CAP kids)
Photog/Scriptwriting (with CAP kids)
Drama (with CAP kids)
Math
Science
PE [b](if they take health in the summer, can they take PE during the summer too or do they get a free period for one quarter just for health?)[/b]
Elective
[b]Do they get a 2nd Elective, or do they have to choose between a World Language and an "other" like Art or Music?
[/b]

HS students need to take 2 semesters of PE and 2 of Health to graduate. They have 2 elective periods in 9th - most will take World Language for 1. The other could be PE, Art, Tech, etc. [/quote]

CAP courses fulfill the high school fine arts requirement.  SMAC courses fulfill the high school tech requirements.  For CAP, that means you don't have to take orchestra/choir, etc. to graduate, but, as for all students, if you want to take arts, it's  hard to fit it in, given the PE and Health requirements.  The one-year Health requirement drives me crazy!  What a useless way to spend time at the expense of fine arts.  [/quote]

I heard there's Honors Health? Are there plans to offer an AP Health class too?[/quote]
