WHAT is an EOC?
Jon Leohr:

14. Course Pathways Steven May:
IED counts as Digital Literacy at AHS, DCHS, and OHS
IED also counts as the Performance Art Elect at AHS
POE and Programming order is flexible.
Students need to have finished Geometry before they take POE.
At AHS, students taking POE after Algebra 2 gain math credit, and AP Computer Science is always considered math credit at AHS.

17. TESS FULKERSON University of Louisville
When I arrived at U of L, I felt I had a tremendous advantage over other students since I already knew exactly what specific major I was interested in and also had a huge jump start on credits for my major. The preparation those classes gave me is priceless.
TESS FULKERSON University of Louisville
The classes I took while a part of the Engineering Academy were some of the best experiences of my high school career. I am naturally a kinetic learner, so the traditional classroom setting with lectures and power points seldom met my needs as a student.
