General Diploma Beginning with students who enter high school in 2007-2008, completion of Core 40 becomes a graduation requirement. A general diploma is only available to students whose parents feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum. To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt-out process must be completed. Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an admissions requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have additional admissions requirements).

Core 40 Opt-Out Process The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s progress. The student’s career/course plan is reviewed. The student’s parent/guardian determines whether the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum. Opt-Out for signed by parent and student Direct admission to a four year college will not be an option and financial aid from the state could be reduced or nonexistent for a student earning a general diploma.

ANIMAL SCIENCE: So you’re not ready for ALS: Animals, but like working with and learning about animals? We will spend much of the year learning about each of the species raised on the farm or as pets and how to care for them.  We will cover the following but not limited to the beef, dairy, pork, and poultry industries learning about the different products these species provide us with.  You will learn everything from where your T-bone steak comes from on a steer, to how your milk is produced for your morning cereal.  Students participate in a variety of individual and group projects throughout the year, including incubating and hatching chickens in the classroom.  We will not learn the actual biology of the animals but how they are raised and utilized to provide us with the products we consume.  This class is a great experience for anyone who wants to pursue a career related to animals.

HORTICULTURE SCIENCE: This class is for the student who likes to work hands-on and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty!  We will begin the year learning how agriculture supplies our food.  You will learn how plants grow and reproduce, to turn a tiny tomato seed into the ripe tomato on top of your salad.  While in the lab, students will also learn how to grow and multiply plants using new techniques that most people have never tried.  We will raise plants that you will take care of that you will be able to take home at the end of the year.  In the springtime, students will work outside sprucing up the school landscape and learn how to develop and design their own landscape
