However, to complete your class registration you will need to select 5 elective classes (see below list of classes and descriptions). To do this, please send an email to [email protected] with the following information.

  1. Your Full Name
  2. Your top 5 choices for elective classes (see below list). Please number your elective classes (from the list below) in order with 1 being most preferred to 5 being least.

Class requests will be entered as I receive your emails; therefore, the sooner you email me your preferences, the more likely you will be registered for your top 2, most preferred elective classes.  If you have questions or concerns, please email or call me at 928-288-8170. Thanks!
