Campus provides students with several advanced math courses, but some students have enrolled in Calculus 3 at Collin College. Calculus 3 builds on topics from Calculus BC, but the course will also introduce new and more advanced topics.
With a few weeks still left in the first semester of the 2023-24 school year, students across the district are beginning to fill out course cards for the 2024-25 school year, with Frisco ISD offering several new courses including AP Pre-Calculus and Professional Standards of Agribusiness.
“Course requests are used by the district to make decisions that affect teacher hires and the building of a campus’ master schedule, so the process must start early in order to prepare,” counselor Kelli Chandler said. “Classes may be closed due to low student interest. If there is a class that a student really wants to take, we encourage him or her to include it on the student course request.”
The up-and-coming 2024-25 courses include:
