GHS ARENA SCHEDULING
Through Skyward
Building Your Schedule for the 2026–2027 School Year
WHY ARENA SCHEDULING?
Instead of requesting classes and waiting to see what you get, Arena Scheduling lets you build your own schedule.
You can: • Select the teachers you want
• Choose the class periods you want
• Build a complete schedule that meets graduation requirements
As long as you: • Do not leave holes in your schedule
• Meet all core graduation requirements
• Meet all prerequisites
The schedule you build is the one you will keep.
IMPORTANT: There will NOT be schedule changes in the fall once school starts. Take this seriously.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT CLASSES I NEED TO GRADUATE?
Step 1: Log in to Skyward
https://skyward.iscorp.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsedutooeleut/seplog01.w
Step 2: Click on “Graduation Requirements”
You will see: • Total credits needed to graduate (34)
• Which categories the credits come from
• Credits completed and in progress
Note:
If a course is in your current schedule, it will show as “Completed” even if you haven’t finished it yet. If you fail a term, it will switch back to “In Progress.”
Click “View Courses” to see which classes count toward each requirement.
