About the Program Planning Guide

The purpose of the Pine Bush High School Program Planning Guide is to provide a road map to a successful high school experience. The district offers many paths to success. Students are encouraged to choose the best path for themselves and evaluate that path each year. 

This planning guide outlines three aspects of the high school program:

  1. An explanation of graduation requirements as specified by the New York State Board of Regents for local, Regents, and Advanced Regents Diplomas.
  2. Answers to commonly asked questions regarding various aspects of the high school program.
  3. A list and description of courses offered by each department.

Cooperation among parents, students and staff is important when selecting a program of study that meets the educational needs of each student. The Pine Bush High School staff will provide assistance to you in developing your program and will assist in the decision-making and problem-solving process. Student conferences are scheduled for this purpose. If you have any questions, you are urged to call the Counseling Office at (845) 744-2031, ext. 3500.
