Student course lists will be released on Tuesday, June 10th through HCPSS Connect/Synergy. This is just a list of courses, this is not a complete schedule. Schedules will be worked on throughout the summer and changes will be made for a variety of reasons (staffing adjustments, balancing class sizes, etc). Students should submit any schedule change requests directly to their counselor. Please be patient over the summer with your counselor’s reply due to summer hours.
Parents/guardians may view/download scheduled courses for the 2025-2026 school year by:
- Logging in to HCPSS Connect Synergy using parent/guardian credentials.
- Selecting “More Options” from the left panel.
- Selecting “2025-2026 Scheduled Courses” from the middle. The scheduled courses display.
- Howard County Public School System
Starting on the first day of school, the below timeline will be used to prioritize access to courses for graduation, balanced class sizes, and instructional needs. No schedule changes can be guaranteed after the start of the school year. Summer is the best time to request a schedule change.
Schedule Change Request Process during the summer:
Summer Phase - June 10 through August 20
- This is the best time to request an adjustment to your courses.
- Email your counselor with your requested adjustments and they will get back to you. You may need parent approval for some changes. Thank you for your patience as counselors are working on schedules during summer hours.
