These classes must all be passed with a grade of "C" or higher. The specific requirements are as follows:

C. Mathematics--3 years required, 4 recommended. (must be Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II)
D. Laboratory Science- 2 years required, 3 recommended.
E. Foreign Language- 2 years of the same language, 3 recommended.
F. Visual and Performing Arts- 1 year required.
