General Scheduling Notes The following information will assist you in completing your

schedule for next year. Please give careful thought to your

selection of courses.

You and your parents are responsible for choosing courses

designed to meet graduation requirements. If you do not com-

plete schedule requests by the deadline, your counselor will

complete one for you. This eliminates the opportunity for you

to choose your own classes and, therefore, prevents you from

changing the schedule made out for you.

• All underclassmen are required to take English, math,

science, and social studies.

• Please select your classes carefully. Schedule change

requests may not be honored after the start of school.

• A required subject is a course that all students must com-

plete successfully in order to meet minimum state and local

graduation requirements.

• An elective subject is a course students may take to com-

plete units needed for graduation. Additional courses in

required areas may count as electives.

• Students must check prerequisites carefully before choosing

courses. Students will be removed from classes for which

they are not qualified.

• The counselor approves all schedules. If conflicts arise dur-

ing the summer, the counselor changes courses to ensure a

schedule for next year.

arts or mathematics transitional course or intervention, which is

monitored to address remediation needs before exiting high school

Early Graduation The Jefferson County Board of Education (JCBE) encourages all

students to obtain a high school diploma through a four-year pro-

gram. Students wishing to complete all state and local graduation

requirements sooner than four years must declare their intent to

their counselor before the end of the tenth grade. The local require-

ment for the fourth year of English may be satisfied by successful

completion of a freshman English course in an accredited college

or university, provided prior approval is obtained.

End-of-Course Exams Students can prepare for rigorous, college-level work by working

toward proficiency on End-of-Course (EOC) exams. Currently,

students will take an EOC exam in English 2, Algebra 2, Biology,

and U.S. History. In the future, the state may add more subjects.

Students should note that the EOC exams count toward 20 per-

cent of the final term grade.

Advance Program The Advance Program is a JCPS program for academically gifted

and talented students. To participate in Advance Program courses,

students must have teacher/counselor recommendation followed by

placement in the program via the screening process. Students are

expected to maintain a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) while taking

at least three Advance Program or Advanced Placement courses

each year. These courses must be from the following areas: Eng-

lish, mathematics, science, social studies, and world language.

To graduate with an Advance Program diploma, students must

be officially designated as an Advance Program student by the

JCBE screening process by the end of the tenth grade, earn a

minimum total of 12 Advance Program (or Advanced Placement/

International Baccalaureate [IB] or Cambridge A or AS level)

credits, and earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

If an Advance Program student’s GPA drops below the standard

3.0, the student will be placed on academic probation for at least

one trimester/semester. After the probationary time, the student

may be exited from the Advance Program if the GPA remains

below a 3.0.

Honors Program The Honors Program is a college-preparatory course of study for

students seeking a four-year degree from a college or university

after graduating from high school. This program includes the

precollege curriculum for Kentucky. Students seeking admis-

sion to private or out-of-state institutions should contact those

individual schools to plan accordingly.

To graduate with honors, students must meet the minimum

graduation requirements with all required core content in Eng-

lish, math, science, social studies, and humanities at the Honors

level or higher. Students must also complete all of the precollege

curriculum requirements, including two years or performance

equivalents in a world language. Each high school may have ad-

ditional requirements for earning an Honors designation, includ-

ing GPA, course, and performance criteria.

Preparation for College Admissions Applicants to colleges must qualify for admission by a combina-

tion of the following: GPA, ACT/SAT scores, and transcript of

courses. Students should consult college Web sites for specific

information concerning admission requirements. Plans should

be made as early as possible in your high school career so that

everyone concerned will be aware of all necessary requirements

for acceptance. Without discounting the importance of such

factors as character, personality, and civic responsibility, col-

leges place great emphasis on intellectual eagerness, initiative,

academic competence, and maturity.

Since admission to many colleges and universities is becoming

increasingly competitive, students must expect to do intensive

work throughout their high school career or they may have

trouble gaining admission to the college of their choice. Colleges

require a copy of the students’ academic record (transcript) from

grades nine though twelve. Courses taken each year are the

foundation for success in subsequent years.

Requirements for Kentucky Public Institutions The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (KCPE) has

prescribed the following in order for high school graduates to be

eligible for regular admission to a four-year degree program at a

Kentucky public university.
