Section 1 of this document is used to review and record courses required for graduation. This section reviews the Georgia High School Graduation requirements by area. During 12th Grade, a final advisement opportunity does include the Senior Letter, which lists all requirements for each individual student to graduate. This advisement opportunity is held in August and September. Objective of the Single HS Diploma: All High School Graduates will be prepared for College and the Workplace and thus are College and Career Ready. Slide 06

The U.S. Department of Education released a study that shows that by the time students enter college, the type of courses they took in high school is more important than test scores, class rank, or grade averages. The president of UGA says that rigor of curriculum is a factor above all others that determines success in the college admissions process.

AP Government and Econ Honors Anatomy honors Chemistry Honors Physics AP Biology AP Chemistry AP Calculus AP Statistics Honors and AP Lit AP Art History

There is an online application process February 27th to March 30, 2012. Acceptance/Denial Letters out by April 20, 2012 The link will be located on the main Paulding County School District website.

Honors courses are weighted Honors courses are weighted. With successful completion of the course, an average of 70 or above BEFORE weights are added, earns a student five (5) points onto the final course average. For example: Student earns an 80 in Honors American Literature – the report card and transcript will reflect an 85 as the weighted points are added to the final average. (Advanced Placement courses add 10 points to the final grade, if a 70 or above has been earned.)

Attend the high school informational nights for Honors and AP courses The dates and times of these mandated opportunities will be set by each high school. These will be held during May.

Accel courses are core academic courses in English, mathematics, science, and social studies and are part of a degree program. A student may be full or part time at the college, university or technical college. If a student is part time at the college, then, the student is also part time at the high school. Beginning this fall, Accel courses do not count toward the 127 hour HOPE cap for a Bachelor’s degree.

Important facts about MOWR: 1 Important facts about MOWR: 1. Students must have attended public high school previous year and be counted in both FTE counts 2. Students must be in 11th or 12th grade and attending as full time student at the postsecondary institution (12 semester hours, usually 4 college courses) 3.

Currently, the HOPE scholarship is determined by the calculation of all academic core courses that the student has taken and completed (grades 9-12). Both passing and failing grades in the core courses count. Thus, this is a merit based scholarship for eligible students. Changes in the eligibility guidelines are posted and updated on the GACollege411 website (there are often annual changes in HOPE Scholarship regulations). For current HOPE tuition payments use this link: http://www.gsfc.org/main/publishing/pdf/2011/hope_award_amounts.pdf

HOPE Scholarship (This chart of information is updated every spring by GSFC.)

HOPE GPA is calculated on a traditional 4 HOPE GPA is calculated on a traditional 4.00 grade point average scale to 2 decimal places without rounding. The following calculation is used as students graduation from high school who are on Tier 1: An A is calculated as 4 quality points A B is calculated as 3 quality points A C is calculated as 2 quality points An F is calculated as 0 quality points The HOPE GPA is calculated again at Tier 2 (after 30 hours), Tier 3 (after 60 hours) and Tier 4 (after 90 hours) A student will lose the HOPE Scholarship if the student has lost HOPE at two checkpoints for Tier 2, 3, and 4 while attending college. The student cannot regain the HOPE Scholarship while in college, if the student has below a 3.0 at two checkpoints.

Seniors who graduate and meet either of the following criteria: a 3.7 gpa for the HOPE eligible academic courses and have received an SAT score of 1200 (Critical Reading and Math scores) or a composite ACT score of 26 (on any single testing test date…can take test more than once) Are the valedictorian or salutatorian of the Class of 2013 Maintain a 3.3 gpa at Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 checkpoints while in college A student will lose the ZELL Miller Scholarship if the student does not have a 3.3 gpa at two checkpoints…Tier 2, 3, and 4.

HOPE Grant funds pay for a maximum of 15 hours per semester. Students are eligible to receive the HOPE Grant as they graduate from high school. At 30 hours and again at 60 hours the grade point average is calculated. A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained to continue receiving the HOPE Grant.
