COLLEGE BOUND STUDENTS

Most colleges list the following as very important high school courses necessary to expect success in college.

1) 4 credits of college-preparatory English2) 4 credits of college-preparatory Math3) 4 credits of Science (2 with laboratory)4) 4 credits of Social Science (social studies)5) 2 credits of Foreign Language6) 1 credit of Fine Arts (band or art)7) Sophomores should consider taking the ACT or SAT to assess their academic abilities.8) Juniors should take the ACT in April or June.9) Seniors need to take the ACT or SAT before November of their senior year to qualify for scholarships and to

gain acceptance into college.

POST HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION INCLUDING TRADE, TECHNICAL, AND CAREER TRAINING

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS - Most all good jobs require specialized training beyond high school. Remember quality, not quantity counts. It's not always how many years of education you have, it's the type of education. Specialized training may help you to be "marketable" more than a general education. Find out the type of education you need to qualify for your career interest. Take the necessary high school courses that will be of value to you in your career training. Seek the help of your guidance counselor.

ACADEMIC POLICIES Students are strongly encouraged to register for the equivalent of eight class periods for the school year with a minimum for 6 credits for the school year. Students will be allowed one study hall. Co-op and CCP students are an exception.

CLASS CHANGE POLICY

Student schedules for the following school year are distributed in the spring. Those students who have met Guidance Department requirements may change their schedule during a designated time period in the spring. Any schedule changes after May 15th will be at the discretion of the Principal and Guidance Counselor.

CLASS DROP POLICY

A full year course cannot be dropped after the fifth day of the school year. A semester course cannot be dropped after the fifth day of the semester. Drops after the designated time will result in an "F" as an end of year grade for full year courses or as a semester grade for semester courses. Courses meeting graduation requirements cannot be dropped. Physical Education may be dropped for a health concern with a physician's note. Special administration consideration with input from the guidance office may be given.
