Endorsements – Choices

Sulphur Bluff ISD offers a variety of endorsement options.  Students are able to earn endorsements as part of their graduation requirements.  Endorsements consist of a related series of courses that are grouped together by interest or skill set.  They provide students with in-depth knowledge of a subject area.  Students must select an endorsement prior to entering their ninth grade year.  Districts and charters are not required to offer all endorsements.  If only one endorsement is offered, it must be multi-disciplinary studies. 

Minimum Requirement – Two courses from your endorsement area.  The last course in your coherent sequence must be the course in bold print  in your endorsement area list.  Your other electives may come from any endorsement area but are subject to availability .  Sulphur Bluff ISD endorsement options are as follows.
