Dear High School Student:
Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) are committed
to your high school success and transition to a meaningful
post-secondary choice for future study and employment.
With a clear focus on your learning, we provide you with
rich and engaging experiences to help you to make these
decisions. Many new courses have been developed to
provide you with opportunities to explore a variety of career
areas. Options are also available to earn college credits
through increased advanced placement, International
Baccalaureate, Cambridge, and dual enrollment offerings.
We have created an environment where you will learn about
your strengths, how these personal strengths connect with
career opportunities, and what preparation is needed to
successfully transition to the world beyond high school.
The "2021-22 High School Course Catalog" provides you
with information about available courses and support
services, and serves as a resource to you throughout the
school year. A quick reference guide that lists courses by
grade level and the print version indicates the page numbers to go to in the
"Catalog" for details is included. If you prefer, the "Catalog."
Please take the time to carefully review the “Catalog” with
your family. This will begin the process of selecting courses
for the next school year that are meaningful to you and will
help you meet your personal goals.
Our PWCS counselors, teachers, and administrators will
work with you to ensure your continued success in meeting
graduation requirements and to be certain that your 2021-22
academic program meets your interests and needs.
Sincerely,
Steven L. Walts
Superintendent of Schools
