Enid High School Students, Parents and Patrons:
I hope that you find this registration guide informative and useful during your Enid High School experience. It is full of course descriptions, EHS policies, the State of Oklahoma graduation requirements and much, much more. When students, parents and or faculty come across issues, the EHS Registration Guide is a great place to look for solutions.
EHS has an extremely rich history of academic excellence. EHS students always perform well in such high academic categories such as Advanced Placement, ACT and SAT. We have several excellent working associations with other education institutions such as Northern Oklahoma Junior College and Autry Technology Center. Enid High School’s working relationship with NOC and Autry actually allows us to share our students with them during the school day. At Enid High School, students are allowed to attend EHS, NOC and Autry with a fluid working schedule. We all work together for the betterment of our EHS students.
Students will be encouraged to challenge themselves during their academic career at EHS. As mentioned earlier, we are very fortunate to offer multiple Advanced Placement courses in every core area and many elective areas as well. At Enid High School, our AP courses are very rigorous and challenging, but the benefits are very rewarding with a heavier weighted Grade Point Average and actual college credit if students pass the AP exam. In recent years, our AP courses has had a large growth in the number of students taking AP courses and the number of AP exams passed. This recent success can be largely attributed to the commitment of the National Math and Science Initiative. EHS was very fortunate to have been sponsored by N.M.S.I. for many consecutive years and this sustained commitment has left a profound legacy.
I could go on and on about the multiple and many different paths that EHS offers our students through Athletics, Music Programs, Drama –Theater, and much, much more. I would also like to conclude by mentioning how supportive the Enid community is towards education. EHS has so richly benefitted from the 2009 bond issue that supplied us with renovations to our football field D. Bruce Selby Stadium including new Astroturf for the field and new press box. Additionally, EHS had a new addition built named the “University Center” to promote and house higher learning. Again, in 2016 the community stepped up and passed another large bond issue. In the very near future, EHS will have our own competition gym, Fine Arts Theater, new band room, choir room and an additional 25 new classrooms for our growing population.
Thank you Enid! Thank you for supporting our students and our schools.
Sincerely,
Dudley Darrow Principal of Enid High School Table of Contents

The information provided in this book has been prepared to assist each student in developing a long term program of academic preparation and to aid in the selection of courses for the upcoming school year. A study of the course offerings reveals the diversity of the curriculum and the many options and alternatives that allow each student to individualize a course of study.
ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES TAKEN ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS DURING THE NON-SCHOOL YEAR A maximum of two units of high school credit taken at an on-site college may be placed on a student’s high school transcript. This applies only to courses that are not given college credit. The course(s) must be pre-approved by the principal and available to students that have completed their junior year with a 3.0 or above cumulative grade point average and a 19 ACT score in that subject area. The course(s) will not be utilized as a means for early graduation. The course(s) must be taken through an accredited institution recognized by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. At the completion of the course, the college shall submit a transcript issuing high school credit. The course will be recorded on the student’s high school transcript using the board adopted grading scale for an elective credit.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT The Advanced Placement Program (AP) is a cooperative educational endeavor of secondary schools, colleges and universities. Through AP courses, high school students engage in college-level study. By taking the AP exams, they demonstrate and confirm their mastery of particular subjects. AP courses are open to all students. Taking the AP exam is a requirement for each AP class. It is possible for students to earn college credit hours with a high score on the National Advanced Placement Test. Teacher recommendation and grades will be considered for placement.
AUTRY TECHNOLOGY CENTER Juniors and seniors may submit an enrollment application to be considered for enrollment at Autry Technology Center. Items that are considered for determining possible enrollment are high school grades, standardized test results, attendance and behavior records. An interview with a career counselor is also required to help determine suitability for program placement. Bus transportation is provided for both morning and afternoon classes. Qualifying students may receive college credit for Autry course work. In addition, many Autry courses meet the standards for Oklahoma’s Promise credit.
CLEP EXAMS The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations allow students who have acquired knowledge outside the university setting to show that they have learned college-level material so that they can bypass certain college courses. The CLEP exams cover material taught in introductory level courses at many colleges and universities. Students should check with the university they plan to attend concerning the number of hours and courses for which credit is given from CLEP exams. These exams are administered by the college or university the student plans to attend.
1 CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT Concurrent enrollment provides students an opportunity to gain college credit while completing their high school education. To assist school staff, students and parents, the State Department of Education has prepared a brochure to explain the procedures for enrollment in college courses while attending high school. Information is available in the guidance office of Enid High School. Students who choose to take concurrent enrollment must provide proof of enrollment before their Enid High schedule will be changed. Concurrent enrollment will be monitored throughout the semester. A student who drops a concurrent course must enroll at Enid High School as a full time student. Concurrent classes are offered on-site at Enid High School and at Northern Oklahoma College. Concurrent classes offered at Autry Technology Center and Northern Oklahoma College are listed at the back of this guide. Concurrent enrollment courses will be granted one (1) unit of credit using the board adopted grading scale on the high school transcript grades and will be used in computation of GPA.
Admissions Requirements for Concurrent Enrollment
College / University High School Seniors High School Juniors 24 ACT or 1090 SAT and either a University of Oklahoma 3.0 GPA or top 50% class rank; or 25 ACT or 1130 SAT or 3.5 GPA 3.0 GPA and top 30% class rank

DUAL CREDIT The term Dual Credit refers to an arrangement where students are enrolled in college courses that count for both high school and college credit. When a student earns college credit through concurrent enrollment, school districts shall provide academic credit for any concurrently enrolled higher education courses that are correlated with the academic credit awarded by the institution of higher education. Academic credit shall only be transcripted as an elective credit if there is no correlation between the concurrent enrollment higher education course and a course provided by the school district. EHS NOC 1. English IV ...... Freshman English I & II (Both English courses Composition I and Composition II must be successfully completed to meet Common Core State Standards for Senior English.) 2.

3 PROMOTION - RETENTION OF STUDENT Students in grades nine through twelve must meet the following criteria for grade promotion: 1. Freshmen must earn a minimum of four (4) units at the end of their freshman year to be classified as a sophomore. 2. Sophomores must earn a minimum of ten (10) units at the end of the sophomore year to be classified as a junior. 3. Juniors must earn a minimum of sixteen (16) credits at the end of their junior year to be classified as a senior.
SCHEDULE CHANGES/CLASS DROP POLICY The Administration uses the information from the enrollment process to decide how many sections of each course will be offered. Once those decisions are made, teachers are assigned to each of those sections. Once assignments are made, the computer will attempt to balance classes based on student requests and teacher assignments. If unnecessary schedule changes are allowed, then classes become unbalanced, and large classes will not meet state law requirements. Striving to eliminate the unnecessary schedule changes yet provide the opportunity for valid change requests, the following will be considered as justifiable reasons for change requests: 1. To correct enrollment computer errors 2. To correct graduation deficiencies 3. To achieve a better class balance 4. To make necessary changes due to summer school attendance 5. To compensate for classes failed during the previous years 6. To enable students to meet requirements for post-secondary school's admission guidelines 7. To provide for placement in special classes 8. To implement changes in I.E.P.'s Your request must "fit" one of the aforementioned guidelines. Classes will not be "changed" or "dropped" after one week from the start of the first semester or one week from the start of second semester.
SEMESTER GRADUATION Early graduation from high school is not encouraged by the Enid Board of Education. However, if a student meets all graduation requirements and requests early graduation, permission may be granted by the high school principal. The student desiring to graduate early should follow these steps: Steps for Requesting Semester Graduation 1. In May of junior year - meet with guidance counselor to go over graduation requirements. 2. In June & July before senior year – must complete a second semester of English IV or a concurrent Composition I. 3. In August of senior year - meet with the principal during the first two weeks of the school year to determine eligibility for early graduation. Must have a written request signed by a parent or guardian that indicates the reason(s) for early graduation.
VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN CRITERIA
The valedictorian award will be given to each student who makes a 4.0 GPA or above based on a seven semester scale and completes the honors graduate requirements. The students having the highest and second highest class rank will have the traditional duties of the valedictorian and salutatorian, which will be the salutatory and valedictory address at the commencement ceremony. Valedictorian recognition requires the candidate(s) to have been enrolled at Enid High School for three consecutive semesters during their senior year. Should either or both students choose not to participate in the ceremony, then those duties would be administratively assigned with preference being given to the highest ranking students.
4 VIRTUAL ACADEMY Enid Virtual Academy provides a unique opportunity for students enrolled in the Enid Public School District to have a challenging educational experience in a supportive online environment. A teacher will be available to assist students as they access their curriculum online. It provides an opportunity for that student who is self-motivated to gain extra credit or to recover credit from previously failed courses.
WEIGHTED GRADES
Enid High School has weighted grades. Weighted grades are a means to reward students for taking challenging courses. Advanced Placement courses are equivalent to college freshman level work; therefore, they carry more weight. Course descriptions will include weighted status. Advanced Placement (AP) courses A = 4.5 B = 3.5 C = 2.5 D = 1.5 F = 0 Pre AP and Advanced Courses A = 4.25 B = 3.25 C = 2.25 D = 1.25 F = 0
Dual Credit Courses/Concurrent Enrollment A = 4.25 Concurrent Enrollment – B = 3.25 Course description will include C = 2.25 weighted status and shall be approved D = 1.25 by the principal. F = 0

Test Scores When a student registers for the SAT or ACT, he or she can use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 so his or her scores are sent directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores on transcripts will NOT be used in his or her academic certification. A combined SAT score is calculated by adding reading and math subscores. An ACT sum score is calculated by adding English, math, reading and science subscores. A student may take the SAT or ACT an unlimited number of times before he or she enrolls full time in college. If a student takes either test more than once, the best subscore from different tests are used to meet initial- eligibility requirements. If a student took the SAT before March 2016 and then took the redesigned SAT at a later date, the NCAA Eligibility Center will not combine section scores from the former and redesigned SAT when determining his or her initial eligibility. The NCAA Eligibility Center will not combine section scores from the same version of the test. Because he redesigned SAT varies in design and measures different academic concepts than the former SAT, the Eligibility Center will apply the College Board’s concordance tables when performing academic certifications for students with redesigned SAT scores. *To compare SAT scores visit the College Board’s website.
