*Encouraged to join the Vocational Program or Cooperative Education Program. The Academic Counselors can also work around schedules of those students looking to
enter a 2 or 4-year college and those who may want to enroll in a vocational program at Skowhegan Regional Vocational Center.
The decisions that students and parents make in their choice of courses in the sequence of courses are most important. Choices made for the freshmen and
sophomore years will strongly affect the options available for the junior and senior years. Students and parents should also know exactly where the student
stands (credit total) at the end of each year.
