Incoming Freshman Stuff You Need to Know

Graduation Requirements Must have at least 24 credits, with 16 credits in required subject areas: 4 years of English 4 years of Mathematics 3 years of Science 3 years of Social Studies 1 year of HOPE (possible waiver available) 1 year of a Performing Art Must have an unweighted Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.00 Must pass the FCAT Reading and Mathematics Must have 4 credits in a Major Area of Interest (MAI)

Major Areas of Interest (MAI) Agriculture/Natural Resources Health Science Information Technology Language Arts Mathematics Music Physical Education Science Social Studies Technology Communication Visual Arts World Languages

What does an MAI mean to me? You need four credits in a MAI, such as sequential courses in a career and technical program, fine and performing arts, or academic content area, in order to graduate. You may revise/change your MAI each year as part of your annual course registration processes. You may earn four credits in more than one MAI if you choose. You are not required to complete four credits in the same MAI, you just need four credits of courses that are in a MAI. However, if you complete four credits in the same MAI you may earn a standard diploma designation reflecting that MAI.

Importance of Grades (School should be your JOB!) College Admissions Scholarships, Bright Futures Helps in getting good recommendations/references Helps in passing the FCAT (part of your graduation requirements) Helps in getting good scores on college admissions tests (SAT or ACT) Admissions to Technical Programs (i.e. nursing, technology, etc.) Helps you feel BETTER about school, which in turn helps you feel BETTER about yourself!
