The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four year or a two year college.

Take English every year. Traditional courses,
such as American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills,
reading comprehension and vocabulary.

college entrance exams and in college math classes—and in many careers. Take
