Introduction
February 2014
Dear students:
It is that time of year to begin your course selection process for the 2014-2015 school year. Please keep in mind your educational and career goals as you select your classes. The choices you make now will have an impact on the remainder of your high school career and beyond.
Students must now plan to pursue the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma or the Core 40 Diploma. Requirements for each diploma are outlined in this course curriculum guide. The decision that you make regarding the type of diploma you receive will be important to the funding of your post secondary education or training. 21st century scholars must complete a minimum of a Core 40 diploma as well as meeting all other requirements to be considered for their full tuition scholarships. Students interested in attending Ben Davis during their junior and senior years must successfully complete as many courses as possible during their ninth and tenth grade years.
Due to the wide variations in college entrance requirements, students are urged to check with the admission office of their chosen college and visit the college websites when planning their high school programs. College catalogs are available online at most college websites. Most colleges require at least 28 of the credits earned for high school graduation to be devoted to academic courses. Be aware that college entrance requirements can change on a yearly basis.
Achieving your goals requires careful planning on your part throughout your high school career. This course curriculum guide is designed to help you develop your four year career and revise it as needed. We encourage you and your parents to read and discuss this booklet and continue to use it as a resource in planning your high school courses.
We encourage and invite parents to become a part of their students’ course selection process. Parent involvement is an integral part of a student’s successful education experience. Parents are welcome to contact the Guidance office to schedule an appointment or to address and discuss concerns. We look forward to working with you to make your high school career at Monrovia High School an academically rewarding experience!
Sincerely,
Mike Springer Principal
