ECAP: 4-Year Plan
Why are we doing a 4 year plan?
• To make a personalized plan to maximize your
time here at Desert Vista
• To set goals that will give you direction for
your high school experience
• To choose classes that appeal to you according
to your interests
How to Choose Courses
• Good Reasons to take classes
• Build necessary skills to be successful
• Possibly earn college credit in your field of
interest
• So you don’t waste time in high school –
you learn about your field of interests
Bad reasons to pick a class
• My friends are taking this class
• I heard the teacher was easy
• To raise my GPA/Class Rank
Take out your 4-year plan sheet
Filling Out the Four-Year Plan
•There will only be six rows filled out for each
year unless you are taking a zero or eighth hour.
•Make sure you have included all the required
courses (they are shaded) for each year. Some
required courses can be placed in other years; if
you choose not to take a class in the suggested
year (i.e. Health), you will have to include it in
another year.
•Use the Credit Check sheet provided to make
sure you are fulfilling all the requirements for
graduation and future goals.
• Fill in the classes you are presently taking and whether they are
honors or regular—there will be six unless you have a zero or
eighth hour.
