TO THE 2026-2027 COURSE GUIDE  \nWe believe that educational planning and the selection of classes is one of the most important parts of your student’s high school experience, and we hope you will take an active part in the process.  \nThe Course Guide contains information on graduation requirements, Common Core State Standards, NCAA Clearinghouse requirements, and every course offered at Mundelein High School. It lists the following for each course: prerequisites, grade level criteria, number of terms and credits, course descriptions. In addition, Mundelein High School frames course selection in the context of Programs of Study. Please take time to review and discuss the Programs of Study with your student, so they choose courses that align with their post-secondary plans.  \nEach student will receive a Course Selection Worksheet; this worksheet lists every course offered next year for each grade level, along with the number of terms the course meets. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors may request up to 7 periods for the year.  \nBeginning in November, counselors will schedule individual appointments with each student. During the appointments, counselors will review graduation requirements, record courseselections, and discuss posthigh school plans.  \nPlease contact our Guidance Department at 847-949-2200 if you have any questions. We look forward to working closely with you and your students to plan for an exciting and challenging 2026-2027 school year.  \nBest Regards,  \nDr. Alexandria Rios Taylor, Principal  \nTo keep up-to-date on our current and upcoming events, be sure to check out our EVENTS page ([https://www.d120.org/events/](https://www.d120.org/events/)) .  \nDistrict 120 | 2026-2027 Course Guide 1  \n TABLE OF CONTENTS  \nMHS Course Selection Guide 3  \nCourse Selection Process 3  \nPathways 4  \nCareer Pathways 6  \nCourse Guide 16  \nEnglish 17  \nMath 24  \nScience 31  \nSocial Studies 37  \nPLTW Project Lead the Way 42  \nSpecialized Courses 45  \nPhysical Wellness 49  \nWorld Languages 56  \nCareer & Technical Education 60  \nBusiness Education 60  \nFamily & Consumer Sciences 64  \nIndustrial Tech 67  \nBroadcast Media 69  \nTech Campus 71  \nFine Arts 72  \nArt 72  \nMusic 75  \nTheatre 79  \n2 D120 | 2026-2027 Course Guide  \nMHS COURSE SELECTION GUIDE  \nCOURSE GUIDE FEATURES:  \n• Prerequisites  \n• Grade level criteria  \n• Number of semesters  \n• Number of credits  \n• Course description  \n• 6 units of elective credits  \nCurrent MHS students will begin course selection for the next academic year in December.
