A Message from
SUPERINTENDENT LAW
Dear Anoka-Hennepin students,
High school is an exciting time. It’s an
opportunity to explore your interests as
you plan for your life after graduation. Our
goal is that every student will experience
success in the career or educational path
they choose.
This registration guide is helpful in out-
lining 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 or school
career and college specialist. Your high 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.
Sincerely,
ANOKA-HENNEPIN SCHOOLS
