Hello! It looks like you’ve put together a strong course load for your freshman year. Here’s a breakdown:
Math: Taking NC Math 3 honors is a solid choice, especially if you’re comfortable with advanced math concepts.
English: English 1 honors will help you develop critical reading and writing skills that are important as you progress in school.
Civic Lit: This class will provide valuable knowledge about civic engagement, which is essential in high school and beyond.
Biology Honors: Great choice for a foundational science class!
Health and PE: Required classes are important for your physical well-being, so it’s good that you’re including them.
Visual Arts: It’s great to explore your interests creatively!
Precalc Honors or AP Precalc: Choosing between honors and AP will depend on your comfort level with math. If you’re confident in your abilities and want a challenge, AP Precalc could be a great option.
Spanish 2: Continuing a language is beneficial for building fluency and can enhance your college applications later on.
Overall, your schedule looks well-balanced and rigorous but manageable. If you’re really interested in science and feel comfortable taking on more, you could consider doubling up, perhaps with a physical science class next year. That being said, it’s also important to maintain a balance with extracurriculars and personal time. Ultimately, go for what feels right for you! Good luck in high school!
