Middle school students are in a very flexible period of life with many worthwhile choices to consider. Middle school offers the opportunity for exploration and development of each student's interests, abilities, and talents. Each student in the Port Arthur Independent School District is assisted by a dedicated staff in making choices that will lead to the fullest attainment of selected goals. Special help in making educational choices at the middle school level is provided by school counselors. The course selection guide has been prepared as an aid to students at the middle school level. The guide should also benefit parents in assisting the middle school student in the wide selection of courses. Plans which affect the total educational development of students begin with the proper selection of a program of studies at middle school.
