Curriculum & Studies

The School Counseling department works with students and families, to ensure that all THS and NJ State graduation requirements are met. With course selection meetings occurring in the Winter time, Counselors meet with students to review course recommendations for the following academic year and any elective choices they may have. Discussing courses is an effective way to incorporate academic planning (i.e. creating a Four-Year Plan) and long-term goals pertaining to higher education and career development. The Program of Studies is a great way to understand our courses, graduation requirements and other school-based programs and processes.
