Endorsement Pathways

The endorsement pathways listed are for illustration purposes. Students do not need to take every course listed under each sequence, nor are these prescribed sequences for students – these are recommended sequences only. There are many options in each endorsement and in each pathway. The default graduation plan for all FISD students leads to the Distinguished Level of Achievement, which requires Algebra II to be in the math sequence of the student’s endorsement plan.
