-
While CCHS does not require enrollment or completion of foreign languages... be aware that some universities do require completion of 2 years of a foreign language (same language, both years) as a part of entrance requirements.
-
While NDE considers CTE courses to meet Humanities requirements, most 4-year universities out side of the state of Nevada still consider Humanities to be Fine Arts. Completion of a CCHS diploma does not necessarily insure that the student will meet the requirements for college entrance.
