Attleboro, MA | Are you talking class wise? If so intro to networking and networking, then depends what area of security you want in on. Most likely you will need programing experience. C++/Java and php if it is offered. |

I agree with Ryan only I feel one should have a better than average knowledge of Networking and then go for some of the basics of Security such as the Security+ from comptia. Then ya need to decide if and which specialization you might want to get in. Also ditto on learning C++ and Java.
The world of computer security has grown sooo much from the basic concepts covered by Comptia's Security + I almost hate to mention it but it is still recognised.
It's kinda like on your College entrance exams mentioning ya got an A+ in crayon in Pre-school. |

Pick up an intro to networking book. It will describe all the layers the benefits etc. There really isn't much to networking, its when you get into things like cisco where it becomes difficult. Actually all of the things you just mentioned can be found in google too. Check out your local book store there are plenty of books on each subject and the intro books should have more of a general touch of each subject. |
