Magnet Academy Requirements

A committee will review student applications and make final selection of the academy of Computer Science and Game Design students. The selection committee looks at the total student when making its determinations; therefore, we encourage you to provide as much information about your outside interests, activities, and community involvements as possible.

Course Requirements: 2011 - 2012

The William H. Spencer High School Academy of Computer Science and Video Game Design offers an advanced curriculum that links rigorous core academic courses to computer science and video game design courses. The Academy of Computer Science and Game Design incorporates state of the art industry standards in a curriculum that includes network services, information technology support and services, programming and software development, and interactive digital media systems. 

Courses and course progression are subject to change to meet both industry and post-secondary educational standards and/or requirements.  Students must follow the course progression to remain in the magnet.  Failure to follow and/or pass the magnet courses are grounds for removal from the magnet.
