Academics
From the Principal
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
I am excited to welcome you to the Cambridge Course Catalog for the 2025-2026 school year! The information in this catalog is meant to help you make decisions on which courses you wish to pursue. Each course has a brief description created by the teachers who actually teach them. Each course lists out pre-requisite courses as well as information on the amount of time and effort needed to be successful in the class. While it is important that you read through this information closely, it is also important that you refer to the Fulton County placement guidelines for information on requirements for graduation. You can find the Fulton County Placement guidelines on our website at www.CambridgeHS.org under the Academics tab by hitting Academic Resources. This is a small step in your academic career, but in all things, it is important to have every piece of information so you feel confident in your choices.
One of my favorite things about high school is the experience. I know you have heard me say this many times. So, as you peruse the catalog and look up the courses you are interested in, I encourage you to also make a list of the activities you wish to pursue outside of classes. Students and parents/guardians, I highly recommend you go through this catalog and your goals as a family. Consider your short-term goals for graduation, your desire to pursue talents and options that interest you, and your long-term goals for college and career. Consider that this is an opportunity to pick courses that provide balance for all three of these goals and maximize your high school experience.
Students, if you choose to go to college, learning how to navigate and pick courses of study towards your degree is a valuable skill. Every college, university, and institution of higher learning has a course catalog. This is a great opportunity to explore options and, where possible, choose for yourself. There are lots of mandates and required classes in high school (and later in post-studies), but you do have the freedom to choose at least one or two classes per year that match your interests, values, and goals. Once you have completed your selections, discuss them as a family. Then, reach out to teachers, counselors, and/or administrators for their input. Our Cambridge faculty and staff have valuable experience, advice, and insight to offer you on your journey. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need help or guidance.
For some of you, this will be your first step into Cambridge. For others, it will be the final selections in your high school career. For all of you, be mindful in your choices. Do not hesitate to question, to consider, and to find your balance. Wishing you joy and success in creating your Cambridge High School experience!
Sincerely, A²
