All students are required by the district to enroll in four subject courses and a Physical Education course. However, the school compels lower-class students to schedule a full day of classes, in order to ensure satisfaction with district graduation requirements. Juniors and Seniors have the option of having an "open period" during the first or last period of the school day ("Seniors may have open periods during any period"). However, Juniors require parental permission to have an open period. All students are required to take finals.
