Effective academic advising supports students' decision-making during the middle and high school years as well as planning for college and a career after high school. Frisco ISD provides two important tools, which work in tandem with one another, to guide students, parents/guardians, and school staff with consistent information through academic decision making at the secondary level in FISD.

The Frisco ISD Academic Guide supports students, parents, administrators, counselors, and teachers with common understanding and application of FISD's academic expectations, practices, procedures, and board policies. The Academic Guide provides additional information and context beyond course descriptions and titles found in the Course Catalog. It also assists students and families in making wise, informed decisions concerning programs and course choices leading up to and throughout your high school years.

The Course Catalog is a comprehensive listing of all courses available for students to choose as part of their annual course selection process and 4-year for high school. Students in specialized courses due to academic needs and/or an Individualized Education Plan will need support from their counselor for course selection.
