This guide has been developed by the administrative staff, school counselors, department chairs, teachers and other members of our Johnson community. We hope you will find it helpful as you select the most appropriate courses for your high school years. It contains current information on graduation requirements, registration procedures, course descriptions, standardized testing, and special programs unique to our school and is intended to be a well-used resource as you and your family complete your educational and career planning. Selecting courses is a very important process which should be made only after careful consideration of your abilities, future academic and career goals, and personal interests. Please keep in mind that you are planning for four years at Johnson High School and preparing for your post-secondary education in the future. Therefore, students and parents are encouraged to choose classes thoughtfully.  Click the button below to access the web site.  Please use this link to access our online course guide.

Registration Forms

Student choices will not be changed except in cases where computer errors were made or where a student was incorrectly assigned to an inappropriate level of a course. Students who do not submit course requests relinquish their opportunity to choose and will receive whatever courses are undersubscribed.

General Information

Academic Honors

Saint Paul Public Schools uses both a 4.0 unweighted grading system for standard classes and a 5.0 weighted grading system for Honor classes.

Career Pathways at Johnson Senior High

The Career Pathways Program is intended to help students explore and experience careers including the college coursework that may be necessary for them to achieve their career and life goals.

Post High School Planning

All high school students who plan to continue their education beyond high school should select their high school classes carefully because colleges and vocational schools have become more definitive with regards to high school course selection.

School Programs

The faculty and staff of Johnson High School want your high school years to be enjoyable and productive. We are constantly striving to make this school and its programs the finest available in Saint Paul.
