Transition to High School "A-G Requirements"

The News - Website Announcements

This informative meeting is for all families interested in knowing the coursework necessary to meet University of California/California State University admission-eligibility requirements (e.g., UC 'A-G' course requirements)

The intent of the "A-G" Subject Requirements is to ensure that students can participate fully in the first-year program at the University in a wide variety of fields of study. The requirements are written deliberately for the benefit of all students expecting to enter the University, and not for preparation for specific majors. Fulfillment of the "A-G" pattern also demonstrates that the student has attained essential critical thinking and study skills.   Click here to see the specific subject/course requirements.

From my point of view, the budget crisis is real.  SDUSD is underfunded and my children are directly affected by the budget cuts.
