Summer school info will be available in April for accelerated and in May for credit recovery in the Guidance office. It is very important for you to attend summer school, if necessary, and it is your responsibility to register for summer school.

5. If you are moving out of KISD… If you are moving out of KISD, check #1 on your registration form, put a big X on the class choice grid, have YOUR PARENTS SIGN THE FORM, and then return it to your teacher. You do not need to do any other paperwork if you are moving. Just telling your counselor that you are moving out of KISD next year is not enough, you must do the form as instructed above.

6. Advanced programs Advanced Placement courses – offers testing opportunity in May to earn possible college credit. Dual Credit classes – Central Texas College classes taught on our campus that allow you to earn college credit while in high school. Deadline for dual credit paperwork is May 4th. The next TSI test for dual credit is April 7 th or you can take it at Central Texas College for a small fee. Keep in mind – all advanced programs are more challenging and rigorous and this will be your senior year. These classes will require a significant investment of your time and effort.

7. Killeen Career Center Enrolling in KCC courses requires that you attend the KCC campus for either a half day or a full day. Be sure to give alternates for courses at HHHS when you choose the KCC in case you are not accepted. Career Center Student Info sheets (goldenrod) for certain upper level classes are due when you turn in your packet to your teacher or no later than May 4 th to the Guidance Office. You need to put these upper level classes as alternates, not choices. Career Prep I is the same thing as co-op. This is the course where you work a job 15 hours a week and may have up to 2 release periods, depending on your credits. You need to have a job already. This class does not find a job for you.

8. Schedule changes Next year, you may only change your elective courses the 1 st week of each semester and only if there are openings in the classes. Choose electives and alternates carefully as you may stay in the class all year. If you wish to change a level downwards, your PreAP/AP/Dual Credit teachers will be able to advise you regarding time frames for changes.

9. “When do I see my counselor? You already have an appointment!” We know you have questions. Every English III class has a date scheduled to come to the Guidance office so you can meet with your counselor individually and privately. Your teacher can tell you your date. When you see your counselor, we will do any additional paperwork, such as dual credit forms or Career Center forms, and address all questions you may have. We will correct your registration at that time, if necessary, so don’t worry too much about mistakes. JUST GET US THAT PARENT/GUARDIAN SIGNATURE!
