The 2025-26 Fayetteville-Manlius High School Course Catalog outlines important information about our academic programs and policies, including the course selection process, graduation requirements, grading system and counseling program. More importantly, this catalog outlines the diverse course offerings available to you. The course selection process empowers you to create an academic program to best meet your skills and interests. As you consider which courses to choose, ask yourself the following questions:
- What are your academic interests? Course selections provide you with the opportunity to explore new academic areas while building on areas of strength.
- What are your post-secondary goals? Your academic program should lay the foundation for a well-rounded education that supports your plans for life after graduation.
- What other demands do you have on your time? Your schedule should provide an appropriately challenging program that will push you to grow, but also balance the activities and responsibilities you have outside of the academic day to ensure you have time to relax and socialize.
Additionally, take the following into consideration:
- Teacher recommendations: Your current teachers have recommended courses for the 2025-26 school year in which they believe you will find the greatest success. If you have questions, please talk with your teachers to gain a better understanding of why they made the recommendations they did.
- This is your path! Remember that your abilities and interests are unique to you. Therefore, the courses you select should reflect that, not the experiences or interests of others. Take time to talk with your family about your choices, as they can provide guidance as you consider what is best for you.
- Your school counselor is here to help. You will meet with your school counselor to discuss course selections prior to submitting your course request form. If you have questions, reach out to them for input and support during the process.
Fayetteville-Manlius High School is proud of the rich academic program we provide. The course selection process is an exciting time to look forward to new opportunities in the 2025-26 school year. Do not hesitate to call our Counseling Center at 315-692-1801 for assistance. We want your program and related course selections to be right for you.
Sincerely,
Patrick McNamara
