Keystone Exam Proficiency (Biology, Algebra I, & Literature) The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires students to attain proficiency on the Algebra, Biology, and Literature Keystones to graduate Cheltenham High School. Keystone exams are state-developed, end of course assessments in designated content areas. The Keystone exams serve two purposes: 1) high graduation requirement, and 2) high school accountability assessments for federal and state purposes. All public districts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are held accountable for the participation and performance of all students in Algebra I, Biology and Literature Exams. If a student does not demonstrate proficiency of a Keystone Exam, he/she will receive supplemental instruction until the student can demonstrate proficiency in the subject area on the Keystone Exam. If a student is unable to score proficient or above after two attempts on a Keystone Exam, the students may attempt to satisfy the Exam requirement through satisfactory completion of a Project-Based Assessment. A Project-Based Assessment module must be completed for each module of the Keystone Exam in which a student did not score proficient. Students will be registered to complete the PBA during the school day. D. Courses taken outside Cheltenham High School Students may take course work at another school to meet graduation requirements with the prior approval of the counselor and the department coordinator. 7 Cheltenham High School 2016-2017 Course Description Guide MINIMUM CREDITS FOR GRADE PROMOTION Students must earn a minimum of credits per year to be promoted to the next grade.

  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the eighth of, I hope, many retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. The topics to discuss seem endless at this time. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Eight: Historic Battlefield Sites Recent road trips to Bergen Catholic and to Rutgers Stadium to play New York’s Monsignor Farrell proved to be the first forays into New Jersey for the Explorers since 1995, when they took on Cherokee in Marlton, after three consecutive years of battles with Holy Cross. Though the ventures outside of the Philadelphia area are now few and far between, it wasn’t that way in the early years of La Salle football. In fact, in the early years of La Salle football, many games were played in New Jersey. This probably occurred for a number of reasons. Prior to the existence of the Catholic League, which officially debuted in 1920, a football schedule must have been cobbled together each year, and the logic of playing schools in New Jersey is a little clearer when you realize that La Salle was on North Broad Street at the time, only a mile and a half from the Delaware River, so many Jersey schools were considered close enough to be scheduled. A game in 1903 was played against South Jersey Institute. In the teens and early twenties of the last century, New Jersey schools such as Vineland, Bridgeton, Wenonah, Hammonton, Atlantic City, Woodbury, and Palmyra played against La Salle. Cathedral in Trenton, Ocean City, Burlington, Moorestown, and Camden Catholic also took on the Explorers in the late 20’s.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.
