RISING 9TH GRADE REGISTRATION PREVIEW 2017 – 2018 Registration http://unioncounty.schoolwires.net/Domain/55

9TH GRADE YEAR IN HS  College admissions will be based upon:  GPA (weighted vs. unweighted)  Class Rank  The rigor of your courses (Honors and AP)  ACT / SAT Scores  School and community involvement  Community service  Rigor is important but so is the right choice.

HIGH SCHOOL COURSES TAKEN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL State Board of Education policy allows middle school students in grades 6 -8 to receive graduation credit for high school courses taken in middle school. To receive credit, students pass the course and score a Level III on any EOC associated with the course, if applicable. The course must conform to the high school course of study and provide135 hours of instruction. These courses meet graduation requirements but are not factored in to a student’s high school GPA.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS English 4 Credits: Eng. I, Eng. II, Eng. III, & Eng. IV Math 4 Credits: Math I, Math II, Math III and a 4th Math Science 3 Credits: A Physical Science course, Biology, & Earth/Environmental Science Social Studies 4 Credits: World History, Civics & Economics, American History I & II Health/PE 1 Credit Health/Physical Education Electives 2 Credits: Art, CTE or World Language + 4 Credits: Additional electives Second Language* Not required for graduation: However, 2 levels of the same language required to meet minimum application requirements for UNC schools.

ACADEMIC DIFFICULTY OF COURSES College Prep (CP) – Course content, pace, and academic rigor follows standards specified by the NCSCOS with content enrichment where appropriate. Honors - Course content, pace, and academic rigor place high expectations on the student and surpass standards specified by the NCSCOS. These courses demand greater independence and responsibility than CP Level courses. This level or higher is suggested for competitive college admission . Advanced Placement– Course content, pace, and academic rigor are college-level as adopted by the College Board and prepare students to take the AP examinations which may lead to college credit.
