Howard HS Course Registration for SY 2026-2027

Course registration for the school year 2026-2027 has officially begun. All teachers have completed recommendations for graduation requirements. As of Tuesday, December 16th, all families can view those recommendations in HCPSS Connect. Students must enter the remaining course requests into HCPSS Connect; students need to register for a total of 7 credits and add 3 alternate courses by January 12th. It is very important that the 3 alternate courses be listed by priority and not duplicated.

Beginning this week, there are a variety of activities offered to our students to assist in their selections. All week in English classes, our school counselors will provide course registration presentations. During Lions’ Time on Wednesday, December 17th, students will receive links to important websites and view videos about the various elective courses offered at Howard High School. As a follow-up, on Wednesday, January 7th during all lunch shifts, students will participate in an Electives Fair where they can speak to current teachers and students to learn more about specific courses they may be interested in registering for next year.

Below are some useful resources for both students and families:
