Sage Creek High

Sage Creek High School students will enroll in a trimester schedule.  Students take five classes per day that meet daily for 70 minutes. Each trimester is twelve weeks long.  

The regular school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m., with the exception of Wednesdays, which dismiss at 2:30 p.m.

Following are some of the benefits of the trimester schedule:

• Students can accelerate.  A student can take three years of a world language in two academic years.

• Students can re-take a course and still stay on course to meet high school graduation requirements.

• Students can have an "Off-Roll" period (i.e., "late-start" or "early release").  This is a great opportunity for athletes who need to depart school before the last period of the day is over for games during their designated season. 

• Students can explore various electives and/or take additional core classes.

• Students can graduate high school with 300 credits.  The Carlsbad Unified School District high school requirement is 230 credits.
