Rising 9th Grade Information

Middle School Counselors will be coordinating with High School Counselors to present information, register students and provide orientation in March 2024.

Step 1: Are you sure WEST CABARRUS is the high school you are zoned for? check here: Find My School Locator Tool

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with our webpage, explore courses, organizations, sports…..everything!

Step 3: Talk to your current teachers and parents about what classes you should take next year. Should you consider an Honors level class?  Are you interested in Construction? Do you enjoy playing in the band or singing in chorus? Check out the “2024-2025 Curriculum Guide” below for more information.

Step 4: Fill out the Rising 9th grade  course planning sheet given to you during classroom guidance by your 8th grade Counselor. You can also print it from below.

Use this sheet to register for classes in Power School with help from parents, teachers or your 8th grade Counselor. See videos and powerpoints below for direct instruction on how to register in Power School. (If you can’t access this DO NOT WORRY! Middle School Data Managers may not have pretransitioned your schools’ students in Power School yet.)

Step 5: BRING YOUR PLANNING SHEET, review and finalize your course selections in Power School with help from WCHS School Counselors when they come to your school:

West Cabarrus HS Curriculum Guide 2024-2025

Below is a description of ALL the classes we currently offer at WCHS.

As a 9th grade Freshman you will NOT be able to choose from ALL of these classes. 

Most of these classes have pre-requisites, that means you have to take a certain class BEFORE you can you enroll in it. For example, you may not take Advanced PE before you take Health and PE.  Health and PE is a pre-requisite for Advanced PE, Strength and Conditioning and Weight Lifting. We provide this comprehensive list of classes to you so that you can read the descriptions of the classes you are allowed to sign up for and know what you can look forward to over the next four years. 

See the WCHS Rising 9th Grade Course Planning 2024-2025 Sheet for the complete list of classes you are allowed to choose. When you go to register in PowerSchool it will only populate the courses you are allowed to take.
