What's in a Name?

Tying into my previous post for high schoolers, electives are a big part of creating a high school transcript. If you are at a loss for elective ideas and/or what to name them, here is a list to get you started. Possible elective courses are listed in alphabetical order below. And, the fact of the matter is that I probably left off quite a few. Many of these may also be used as the title of a core course in certain situations. Happy high schooling!
