Menlo-Atherton High School
Course Selection
The M-A counseling department provides support to students in the areas of academics, personal/social counseling, and post-secondary choices. Students work with the same counselor throughout their four years at Menlo-Atherton. Counselors meet with students in classrooms, small groups, and individually throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to contact their counselor with any questions or concerns.
During the second semester, counselors provide students with an overview of the course selection process and guide them through the planning and course selection process. Counselors meet with students individually to finalize their course requests for the upcoming academic school year.
Course Selection Information and Resources
The Course Selection Handbook is published to assist high school students and their families in educational planning and course selection. Counselors advise students and families on course selection, grade interpretation, college admission requirements, and graduation requirements. The purpose of this handbook is to offer a comprehensive source of information about our offerings to help families make informed choices. The Course Selection Handbook includes
