Standard Diploma – Opt out of Adv. Same as the Advanced, but with no requirement for Algebra II/Trig or foreign language. Must pass all 5 parts of the AHSGE. No one may be on this diploma option without a signed form from their parent or guardian.

Alabama High School Graduation Exam All five sections of the AHSGE must be passed in order to receive an Honors, College Prep, Advanced, or Standard diploma. The AHSGE will be given the first week of March, 2011 to tenth-grade students. Tenth-grade students who have already passed Algebra I and biology will take the math and science sections of the AHSGE in September 2010.

Credit-Based Diploma Same as the Advanced or Standard in course requirements. Must pass reading, math, and at least one more exam on the AHSGE

Career Tech Endorsements Students who complete a minimum of three courses in a designated career area will receive a career tech endorsement on their diploma and a career tech cord to wear at graduation. This endorsement signifies that the student went beyond the basic requirements necessary to graduate high school and that he or she is well trained in a specific field. Students following Advanced Diploma requirements may substitute a Career Tech Endorsement in place of the foreign language requirement.

ACT PLAN The ACT PLAN is a comprehensive program from ACT designed to help all tenth-grade students improve their post-secondary planning and preparation. The ACT PLAN is a “pre- ACT” test and is a powerful predictor of success on the actual ACT Assessment. The ACT PLAN will be given October 19, 2010, to ALL 10 th grade students.

ACT / SAT Most four-year colleges require the scores for either the ACT or the SAT as part of the student’s entrance application. Many colleges will accept scores from either test; however, some colleges require, or prefer, scores from one or the other. Most colleges in the South accept the ACT, and this is the test most of our students take. You should check the catalog of your college-of-choice for information regarding the test it requires. It is recommended for tenth- grade students to complete the academic year before taking the ACT or SAT.

College Planning Folder Beginning this year you should create a folder where you keep copies of awards you have received, community activities that you are involved in, club activities, any special training, etc. Also in this folder begin to compile a list of the colleges that you are interested in and scholarship information. Most scholarships are only available to seniors, but it is wise to know about them well in advance. Create an online profile at

NCAA Requirements Athletes must apply through the NCAA Eligibility Center if they want to play Division I or II college sports. Contact the NCAA website: Submit transcripts and test scores as required There are courses the NCAA does not except such as CP Algebraic Connections. For example, the NCAA requires three math courses. At a minimum these are Alg I, Geo, and Alg II. Alg 1A and 1B count as one course. So does Geo A and Geo B.

Your Transcript How do you earn credits? Enroll in 7 classes worth 1 credit each. 3 ½ Credits earned each semester ~Credits earned by making grades of A, B, C, or D ~Two 9 weeks & semester exam= ½ credit ~Attendance may have an effect on earning credits.
