Sophomore planning Meeting (Students)
All sophomores will participate in a group sophomore planning meeting. Sophomore planning meetings run throughout the month of February. You will receive an e-mail with your student's scheduled date and time approximately one-two weeks prior to the meeting date. Please make sure to review all materials that are sent home prior to the meeting. At the Sophomore Planning Meeting, there will be a presentation for students, and they will be selecting courses for their junior year. All materials for the meeting will be posted on the Counseling Canvas page.
Course prerequisites can be found in the UHS Course of Study.

Sophomore planning meeting (parents)
Parents will be invited to attend an evening sophomore meeting presentation in January, which will be assigned based on their student's last name. At this presentation, parents will be provided with a folder containing their student’s transcript, grad check, and course planning sheet. It is our hope that, after the meeting, parents will talk with their students about the courses they plan to take for junior year. We would like students to come to their sophomore meeting with the course planning sheet completed.
Parent Information Meeting
The sophomore parent information meeting for the class of 2028 was held on November 17, 2025 at 8:00am in the Theater and on Zoom. You can find the presentation slides here and the handout here.
Fall Semester
Throughout the first semester of tenth grade, we continue to monitor the progress of our tenth-grade students. In conjunction with the College and Career Coordinator, we administer a career interest inventory (via California Colleges) to sophomores. All sophomores have the opportunity to take the PreACT (practice ACT) during the Fall semester.
Spring Semester
In February, we schedule group meetings with every sophomore to select courses for junior year and discuss post-high school options. This meeting covers: transcripts, grad check, college requirements, testing, career interests, ROP, and post-secondary options. If needed, summer school courses are also discussed. Course selections are confirmed when second semester grades are final and teachers submit their recommendations. Letters to parents of students requiring summer school are sent in April.
