COATESVILLE AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
The purpose of the Coatesville Area Senior High School is to empower all students to take ownership of their
academic program. Allow them to grow within a community of learners, which provides equitable opportunities
for all.
“Focused on the Future”
INTRODUCTION
This course guide serves as a reference to courses available for selection by students, grades 9-12, in the Coatesville Area
School District. This is a resource to be used to plan your program of study. Select courses that will create an academic
resume that will help you become college or career ready. Consider taking at least one Advanced Placement or Dual
Enrollment course prior to graduation. These courses are challenging and will expose you to high level reading, writing,
and critical thinking, which are valuable skills for your future endeavors. Both types of courses allow you to obtain college
credit, which could help to save you money as you transition to college.
The Coatesville Area High School Campus is committed to the academic success of all students. Each student will be
provided with an engaging learning environment based upon collaboration and communication in the classroom. The
administration, faculty, and staff of the Coatesville Area High School Campus will provide students with the opportunity
to be challenged and to grow academically.
