Are you in a CTE class this year? Here are just a few of the CTE courses offered at SHS: Sports & Entertainment Mkting

• Par. & Child Development

Foods I Apparel I Microsoft Word/Publisher Digital Media I PLTW Intro to Engineering Principles of Business and Finance

AR ARTS ED EDUCAT ATION ION

The Arts at SHS include: Vocal Music Theatre Arts Visual Arts Instrumental Band and Orchestra

In addition to passing these classes, students must show proficiency (pass) the following EOC exams: English II Math 1 or Math1B Biology

You need all of those classes AND a minimum of 26 credits to graduate from SHS

Let’s review a transcript to help us understand…

• All of the courses you take in 9th-12th grades and the final

grade you earned for each class which will be listed as a numerical final average (for example, final grade of 84)

• High school classes (Math, Foreign Language) taken in middle

school (these grades are not factored into your high school GPA)

• Your weighted and unweighted GPA and your class rank

What goes into a final grade?

A final grade represents your work in a course over a semester: 1st Q grade + 2nd Q grade + Final Exam grade, OR, 3rd Q grade + 4th Q grade + Final Exam grade

Final Exams are worth:

20% of your final grade if you are in an EOC course 20% of your final grade if you are in a non-EOC course

Grade Standard Honors AP Courses A 4 4.5 5 B 3 3.5 4 C 2 2.5 3 D 1 1.5 2 F

Stays on your transcript forever, even if you repeat the class and earn a passing grade the next time you take it. Will be seen by any college/university admissions rep, scholarship committee member, employer, military recruiter, or college coach you send it to. Is calculated into your GPA as a 0 and significantly hurts your cumulative GPA. Take a look:

• Student A- has all A’s except for one class. He earns 7 final grades
• f A and 1 final grade of F. His 9th grade GPA will be 3.5 instead of a

4.0.

• Student B- earns 4 B’s, 3 C’s and 1 F. Her 9th grade GPA will be 2.25
• ut of a 4.0.
• Student C- has 2 B’s and 3 C’s and fails the other 3 classes. His 9th

grade GPA will be 1.5 out of a 4.0.

 College Admission Offices pay careful

attention to the following items:

• Difficulty of course load
• Grade Point Average (GPA)
• Class Rank
• SAT/ACT scores
• High school & community activities/volunteer work
• Teacher/counselor/employer recommendations
