Programs of Study
Our core values and beliefs at TRMC are to prepare students for higher education and/or post-secondary-related employment by supporting the personal, academic, and career goals of every student. Toward that end, TRMC offers a rich and rewarding academically rigorous program that requires you to plan and make decisions based on personal strengths, goals, and interests.
The Program of Studies is compiled to assist our students and parents with the decision-making process. Effective planning requires both long-term and short-term goals and even though a student may select specific courses one year at a time, we encourage our families to consider course selections for future years. Please read the following information carefully as it describes the selection process, requirements, and program choices involved in developing your academic program.
The high school curriculum is based on our school's unique theme and mission. Proficiency in each of our academic, civic, and social competencies is required and embedded into course assessments; these expectations and the importance of the Common Core State Standards are integral in the success of your next endeavor after you leave TRMC. TRMC graduation requirements, your personal abilities and strengths, and your future plans that ate included in your 10 year Plan should serve as the basic guide in the selection of your courses. You should realize that your future options are affected by the choices you make today.
Before making your selections we encourage you to carefully read the Program of Studies and consult with the appropriate individuals such as our advisor, teachers, parents, and others who know you well. Make yourself aware of the requirements of the various courses in order to determine how much time and effort you will need to satisfy those expectations.
TRMC offers a number of college prep high school and Three Rivers Community College dual enrollment courses. TRCC course expectations are significantly greater than those in the college prep program.
We encourage you to design a program of study that is personally challenging and requires you to stretch and grow. Select one that will allow you to balance your academic priorities with the rest of your commitments. Most of all we urge you to take full advantage of the high-quality educational opportunities available to you. It is an investment in your future!
