Curriculum

Curriculum at AHS reflects a commitment to meeting the needs of a wide range of student interests and abilities with a goal of preparing students for their future personal/career choices.  Basic and advanced course offerings in Mathematics, Science, English and Social Studies classes are available.  Complementing the core curriculum is an extensive offering of Vocational Education courses (Agriculture Education, Industrial Technology, Business Education and Family & Consumer Sciences).  These vocational curricular areas are supplemented by Aurora's membership in a local Carl Perkins grant consortium and the Mid-Nebraska Tech Prep consortium.  Foreign Language, Visual and Performing Arts including Vocal and Instrumental Music, Driver Education and Health and Physical Education are electives offered to students in grades 10-12.  Special needs instruction is available to those students qualifying for the services.  AHS operates ASCEND, alternative education facility and curriculum designed for students experiencing unique challenges in the regular education setting. 

     In conjunction with the guidance services, an advisor/advisee program helps students examine career possibilities and register for appropriate classes.  Counseling office staff members provide academic, personal and career support for all high school students.
