The master schedule is created each year based on students’ course requests. With more than 1,400 students, 200 courses, 125 teachers and 15,000 course requests, it is prohibitive to honor requests for a particular teacher. If a concern should arise, students are encouraged, with the support of their parents or counselor, to talk with their teacher to work out any differences. It can provide an excellent learning opportunity on self-advocating and handling conflict.
