The purpose of this page is to provide students and families with an overview and description of the required and elective course offerings at Mohawk High School as we plan for each school year. The actual courses available in the master schedule each semester are dependent on adequate student sign-up, facilities, teacher preparation, and other factors associated with organizing the education program; therefore, every course may not be available every year. 

Before you plan your electives, consider the following:

To earn a diploma students need to successfully complete credit requirements, demonstrate proficiency in essential skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, and meet personalized learning requirements.

Remember the diploma requirements are only the minimum. Once you have planned what is required in English, Social studies, Etcetera, additional credits in those areas are counted as electives. 

For example: three credits of science are required for a standard Oregon Diploma. If you take another credit of science after meeting diploma requirements, that credit would apply as an elective.
