Northwest High School 9 th Grade Pre-Registration

Selecting Your 9 th Grade Courses Begin with the end in mind:  Which college do you want to attend?  What do you want to study?  What are your career goals?

Schedule 2 semesters 7 classes – Choose classes with your future in mind Approximately 47 minutes Some classes change at the semester (i.e. Communication Applications, Health, etc.)

A quick, important definition: CREDIT A credit is what you receive when you pass a full year of one subject. Passing one semester (or a half a year) will earn you ½ credit. For example: English I = 1 credit Comm Apps. = ½ credit You must have 26 credits to graduate!!

Every Class Counts 6 credits = Sophomore 13 credits = Junior 19 credits = Senior **You retake only the classes you fail. ***You must earn at least 26 credits to graduate!!

RecommendedDistinguished English (I, II, III, IV) 4 Credits Mathematics 4 Credits (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II + 1 other) 4 Credits (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II + 1 other) Science 4 Credits (Biology, Chemistry, Physics + 1 other) 4 Credits (Biology, Chemistry, Physics + 1 other) Social Studies 3 1/2 Credits (W. Geography, W. History, US History, Government) 3 1/2 Credits (W. Geography, W.

See following slide.

Distinguished Plan: Requires 3 years of the same world language (Spanish, French, German) AND… Four Advanced Measures A combination of four of the following: 1. AP Classes with scores of three or better on the AP exam or Dual Credit classes with a B or better. 2. National Merit Commendation (PSAT) 3. Tech Prep classes (only one counts toward the total) with a grade of B or better 4. A research project done through an independent study class

PreAP? What are the Benefits? Better preparation for college College entrance Better preparation for SAT/ACT Scholarship opportunities Preparation for AP classes - can help you earn college credits Discuss this option with your parents and teachers.
