FRESHMEN PROGRAMMING
|
Each year, the Del Mar counseling department helps students with their four-year Academic Plan for classes they plan to take in high school through a process called programming. If you missed programming, please contact your Guidance Counselor.
| TIPS FOR FRESHMEN |
Fall Semester
