Enrichment Electives

It's an exciting time when August and December roll around! That's when students in Primer - 12th select their Enrichment Electives. A hallmark of PCCS educational program is its Enrichment Electives Program. A preview Week-at-a-Glance is posted each semester. Similar to the college course selection process, students in Primer- 12th select 1st and 2nd choices for each electives period from a myriad list of courses offered which change semester to semester.
