Sweet 16

You might think that the Sweet 16 is just the last few teams in the NCAA basketball tournament, but it's also the key to going to college. Taking 4 years of math, 4 years of English, 3 years of lab sciences, 2 years of social sciences, 2 years of the same foreign language and 1 year of fine arts or CTE can lead you to your own personal championship. Here's some more details on each subject area and how to make sure you have a strategy for success.

 

 

4 Years of Math

These four years “add up” to best college preparation.

4 Years of English

Reading and Writing are critical skills that are essential in college.

3 Years of Lab Science

Experimentation is encouraged in science and will help as you research college options.

2 Years of Social Science

Understanding history and people in general will help you interact with college students from across the state and around the world.

2 Years of Second Language

Should these two years of second language be in the same second language? “¡Si!” (Yes!)

1 Year of Fine Art or CTE

Art-focused or Career Technical Education courses round out the courses recommended for best preparation.

Course Deficiencies

A deficiency occurs if a student is missing a year or more of the Sweet 16. Students may be able to clear course deficiencies via SAT scores, ACT scores, or college courses.
