Facts About Diplomas Please keep in mind that the state of Alabama only recognizes one diploma. That diploma is the standard diploma. The standard diploma is flexible enough to go to work or college. The college prep diploma is only recognized in this county. Colleges NEVER see the diploma. They only see the transcript.

I will be visiting all Social Studies classes in the next week.

No Schedule Changes after the First Week of School Please communicate wth your freshman and encourage them to choose their classes wisely. Schedule changes affect class size distribution and can negatively affect earning the needed credits in a class. Students cannot be moved after the first week of school. Please notify me of any concerns BEFORE school starts if possible.

Athletic Eligibility In order to be enrolled in ANY athletic course or to play any sport, students must earn four core credits per year, and have a 2.0 GPA in the four core classes plus 2 electives. Core classes are math, science, history and English. One class passed = one credit earned.
