Madison High – CS Programming

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

CS Programming is a one-year course in a text-based language (Python). Students write programs of increasing complexity to solve real-world problems of personal interest and professional relevance. Students explore a variety of connections to career fields and prepare for future studies in computer science. The standards build on the concepts of computer science developed in prior grade levels. Prior exposure to text-based coding is recommended, but no prerequisites are required. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
