Grades nine through 12
Anoka-Hennepin high schools have a five-period day structure with three trimesters each school year. A one credit course is earned by completing that class over two trimesters.
Some classes are a half-credit and one trimester. Our high schools provide more than 200 courses and electives, which are outlined in our registration guide. Click here to download the registration guide.
