Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians:
Central Islip High School offers a diverse selection of courses designed to help you not only fulfill graduation requirements but assist you in developing a career vision through the exploration of courses that are challenging, interesting, and rigorous. The purpose of this course guide is to provide you with the information you will need to, successfully, design a course plan for the upcoming school year.
Our course offering guide contains a wide range of courses and programs, as well as useful school information. Students should become familiar with the graduation requirements outlined and base your course plan on meeting and/or exceeding the requirements necessary for graduation. You will find that there are many opportunities to challenge yourself and grow as a student. This includes a full and varied Advanced Placement program, dual enrollment courses, as well as courses in technology, business, art, music, and Long Island Tech Academy vocational programs. New York State requires that all students participate and pass physical education and health to meet the standards for high school graduation. As you develop your course plan for the upcoming school year, you are encouraged to speak with your counselor and teachers to answer any questions concerning course selection.
A good high school education includes getting involved in activities outside the classroom. We are proud of the high level of student participation in athletics and extracurricular activities at Central Islip High School. Being an active and involved member of the school community will enhance your overall school experience. We encourage all students to try new school activities.
The faculty and staff believe you can be successful, and we are always ready to help you achieve your goals.
Sincerely,
Eric Haruthunian
High School Principal
