2014 - 2015 SCHOOL YEAR
Welcome to Westgate High School. Our faculty and staff look forward to your time with us. We
anticipate that together we will provide you with a meaningful education and an enjoyable, productive high
school career. It is important that you begin this school year with determination and a desire to succeed.
This course directory provides descriptions of the course offerings as well as other information that
will facilitate a good start. Westgate High School, along with the other high schools in the parish, operates
on an alternative form of scheduling called the 4 x 4 Block. In this format, you have the opportunity to
earn eight Carnegie Units (credits) during (1) school year; four credits/units per semester. Class periods
are 90 minutes in length and cover an entire course. This format affords you an opportunity to explore
many areas of interest to you. It also allows for more extensive preparation as you lay a foundation for
your post-secondary goals.
Make your selections wisely. Factor in your strengths and weaknesses as you make those
selections. Pay very close attention to course prerequisites and requirements. Plan ahead for lab fees,
special materials and/or dress needed to successfully complete courses. Discuss your selections with
parents and school officials. Take the time and make the effort - the result will be greatly advantageous to
you. Schedule changes will not be a viable option so your initial selections are extremely
important.
Have a great year!
