Current 8th Graders-PHS Course Selection

PHS COURSE SELECTION

G8 Transition Events

There are several upcoming events to support our PCMS G8 students to understand all of the wonderful options available to them at Pembroke High School. Additional events, including the Program of Studies night at PHS, will be shared as we get closer to that date.

TITAN TIME TUESDAYS

Beginning at the end of January, the 8th graders will attend a series of grade level assemblies during Titan Time. 

PHS Counselor Visits

In addition, the PHS School Counselors will be visiting G8 21st Century Skills classes to focus on course offerings and the course registration process. These are the first of two series of counselor visits. There will be a second series of counselor visits later in the spring.

PHS Counselor Assignments by Last Name:

  • Ms. Conathan: A-F
  • Mr. Shannon: G-O
  • Ms. Lydon: P-Z

PHS Program of Studies Night

We hope that all parents of students in grades 8-11 can join us this Thursday, February 27, at 6 p.m. in the PHS Randall Auditorium for our Program of Studies/Course Selection Night.

The evening will be broken up into two portions. First, we will all convene in the auditorium for a general, 45-minute overview of the Course Selection Process and our Program of Studies.

This presentation will include:
the students' timeline for course selection
a review of our graduation requirements, including new requirements beginning with the Class of 2029
a preview of new courses being offered next year
a Pathways update
helpful tips for assisting students create a schedule that is the right fit for their individual learning needs

After the presentation, we will then host smaller, breakout meetings by department so that parents can move freely to meet with our content supervisors and ask any specific questions that they may have. Our supervisors will be eager to speak with parents and caregivers about course descriptions, logical next steps in the sequence for your child, AP courses and the rigor associated with them, or any other question that comes to mind. If parents do not have any additional questions, they can leave after the general presentation.

We hope you can all join us for this important, informative evening.



Student course lists will be distributed at the end of the school year. The list indicates the names of the courses each student will be scheduled to take during the 2025-2026 school year. It will not include the teacher's name or period number.  Students and families are strongly encouraged to review this list prior to departing for the school year and contact their high school guidance counselor if there are any issues.  Guidance counselors will be available five days after the end of the school year and will have open office hours from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students and parents are also encouraged to view the handbook to fully understand the challenges with changing classes in the fall and the process used to do so.  Which explains why it is so important to meet in the spring prior to the summer.
