Credit Recovery
Credit recovery is an instructional program for students who have failed
core courses taken previously. Credit recovery courses are taught using
computer software programs aligned with the state’s content standards and
grade level expectations. To recover credit, the student must pass a
comprehensive final exam approved by the State Department of Education.
A student athlete interested in a Division I or II University MUST repeat the
required courses in their entirety to fulfill the NCAA requirements. Students
cannot simply repeat the deficient skills of a required course they fail. In
other words, they cannot use the credit recovery option for promotion of
subjects failed. It will not meet the NCAA requirement for that course.



Please take note that prerequisites for certain courses are included.
Do not schedule a course with a prerequisite unless you have
fulfilled the necessary requirements.
The course directory contains brief descriptions of courses along
with necessary information as to grade level prerequisites. Honors
and gifted are the highest academic levels. On-level is the average
academic level. Be sure that the level of the course fits your abilities
and you meet all requirements and prerequisites.
Student schedules will be determined according to IGPs (5 year plan)
and your AOC (Area of Concentration)!!! Students will be held
accountable for choices once schedules are completed. Schedules
will not be changed after the first week of a new semester unless
the change is approved by the Principal or Assistant Principal.
Contact your School Counselor before the end of May to turn in your
5 year plans signed by parents.

Schedules will NOT be changed without parental approval!!!!!!!

Students may not receive credit for the same course twice.



An Area of Concentration (AOC) must be completed in order
to be allowed to graduate with a High School Diploma.
Electives must be related to the student’s AOC. This applies to
the graduating class of 2013 and beyond.
In order for a student to complete an AOC he/she must take 4
primary classes and 2 related classes. AOC descriptions are
located on the next pages.
If you are interested in taking Advanced Placement classes,
indicate your desire on your schedule request and IGP!!!! Let
Ms. LeBlanc know that you are interested.
