Course Selection Information

Panther Family - Although it is only December, it is time to start thinking about high school for your 8th graders. Please save the date on your calendar for January 14. During the school day, your 8th grader will visit the new Navarro High School learning about opportunites for classes, tour the campus and prepare for course selections. That evening, we will host the 2026 Course Expo for parents with opportunites to help your child plan for the next four years in high school.

These events start the process for selecting classes for 9th grade. Starting the week of January 26, counselors are setting up Personal Graduation Plan (PGP) meetings. The link to reserve your spot is open and can be accessed at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4AAAAF2AA3FBC52-61208377-9thgrade.
