Facts about MCHS’s Trimester System: • Two Trimesters = 1 year’s worth of coursework • Students take 4 or 5 classes a day • 70 min. class periods • 3 trimesters per year – Each tri 12 weeks long • Classes, class periods & teachers may change each trimester. What this means for you: • Variety! • More room for electives! More academic electives make you a more competitive applicant for college! • Flexibility in schedule! • Freshmen can be “Off Roll” 1 st or 5 th period.
