Walter Johnson HS

Dear Student and Parents:

Each year, as you plan your schedule for the following year, you are engaging in a very important activity in your ongoing education.  As you plan for next year, be sure to meet with your counselor and talk to teachers about the different classes you are considering.  These valuable conversations can spark interest in exciting new areas of study, help you determine the appropriate course workload, and determine how you will find balance in your schedule.  Also, make sure you fill out the WJHS planning sheet to help you map out your desired schedule and the time commitment for your courses. Remember, as you strive to take interesting courses in a variety of subjects, that WJHS has strong music, theater, computer science, and art programs.  We also offer a wide variety of classes that include honors, Advanced Placement (AP^®) courses, and upper level electives in all departments.  Also, you might think about undertaking a Senior Research Project where you can design an independent learning experience around one of your specific interests.  

Explore these options and ask lots of questions to help you make the decisions that are right for you and your future plans. Good luck with planning a challenging and engaging set of courses. I know you will have a fantastic 2023-2024 school year. 

 Sincerely, 

 Jennifer Baker
