A Message from MR. LAW Dear Anoka-Hennepin Students, Middle school is an exciting time. It’s an opportunity to explore your interests as you plan for high school. Our goal is that every student will experience success in the career or educational path they choose. This registration guide is helpful in outlining the broad range of required and elective courses available to you. As you review it, I encourage you to select new or challenging courses as your electives. There may be something that really didn’t pique your interest at first glance, but after giving it a try you find it enjoyable. Taking a variety of courses will also help you explore career paths; there could never be a better time in your life to be doing this. Talk your course choices over with your family and ask your teachers for advice. You can also speak with your school counselor. Your middle school has dedicated staff who are happy to help you find the courses that are right for you. It may seem that adulthood is a long way off, but your school years will go by quickly and you need to make the most of this time. Work hard, but also remember to have fun trying the many opportunities available to you. I wish you great success in your remaining school years and far beyond.
