2020-2021 Catalog of Approved High School Courses Catalog of Approved High School Courses 2020-2021 Members of the Board of Education of Howard County Mavis Ellis Chair Kirsten Coombs Vice Chair Vicky Cutroneo Christina Delmont-Small Jennifer Mallo Sabina Taj Chao Wu, Ph.D. Allison Alston Student member 2019-2020 Michael J. Martirano, Ed.D. Superintendent Dear Student: The Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) offers a wide variety of courses for high school students. The Catalog of Approved High School Courses can help you and your parents select the courses that are best for you and your future goals. Choosing the courses for your high school program is an important task that you should do thoughtfully with your parents. You should consider: • What courses are required for graduation? • When will you take each required course? • What are your interests and areas in which you wish to develop? • What courses are best suited to your goals? Teachers, school counselors and administrators are available to help you make wise choices. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with your school counselor to develop your Four-Year High School Plan, and meet with a counselor yearly to review your plan and select courses for the upcoming school year. High school is an exciting time of your life. This is a wonderful opportunity to plan an academic program that moves you toward reaching each personal milestone for achievement. On behalf of our entire school system, I wish you much success. Sincerely, Michael J. Martirano, Ed.D.

Government • 1 credit in World History * In 2009, the University System of Maryland Board of Regents approved an academic policy that requires incoming freshman undergraduates to have completed four years of high school math. Accordingly, HCPSS students shall enroll in a mathematics course in each year of high school that the student attends in the HCPSS, up to a maximum of 4 years of attendance, unless in the 5th or 6th year a mathematics course is still needed to meet a graduation requirement. Three years of mathematics will consist of one credit of Algebra I, one credit of Geometry, and one or more credits in courses such as Algebra II and subsequent mathematics courses that utilize algebra in a substantive way, so that the student does not lose the algebraic and numerical skills achieved in earlier courses. 2 Graduation Requirements Credit for High School Courses Taken in Middle School For high school world language courses taken over the course of two years, one high school credit will be awarded at the completion of a course in grade 8. Refer to Policy 8020: Grading and Reporting: Middle and High School for more information. Beginning with courses completed in the 2015–16 school year: 1. The student’s passed course will count toward the 21 credits for graduation requirement. 2. The student’s course grade will be recorded on the high school transcript. 3. The student’s grade will not be calculated into the high school grade point average. 4. For high school world language courses, one credit will be awarded at the completion of a course in grade 8.

  • Merriweather Post Pavilion
    Citizen Advisory Panel on Merriweather Post Pavilion Final Report Introduction On August 12, 2004, County Executive Jim Robey signed Executive Order No. 2004-03 (attached as Appendix 1), which appointed 16 leaders of the business and arts communities in Howard County to serve on the Merriweather Citizens Advisory Panel (the Panel). He asked the Panel to advise him on whether Howard County (the County) should purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion from The Rouse Company (now General Growth Properties (GGP)), which had announced that Merriweather was for sale provided that the purchaser agrees to meet certain provisions. He asked the Panel to answer five questions: 1. Is there a public service purpose for Howard County to purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion? 2. If there is a public service purpose for the County to purchase Merriweather, what should be the primary purpose of the facility (e.g., a concert venue, an all-purpose arts facility, etc.), what other activities should be permitted and what organizations should have access? 3. Does Merriweather need to be renovated, and if so what type and scope of renovation would be necessary for it to most successfully and effectively achieve the determined primary purpose? 4. What type of management and control structure should be put into place for the operation of this facility? 5. What level of public oversight should exist? In addition, the County solicited proposals for consultant services for a “Feasibility study associated with the possible purchase and renovation of Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The County received five proposals it deemed to be acceptable. Following interviews with the firms that submitted those proposals, the County hired the team of Ziger/Snead LLP Architects, Webb Management Services, Inc.

  • Dear Superintendent Michael Martirano, Assistant Superintendent
    Dear Superintendent Michael Martirano, Assistant Superintendent Karalee Turner-Little, Board of Education Chair Mavis Ellis, Board of Education Vice Chair Vicky Cutroneo, Board of Education Member Kirsten Coombs, Board of Education Member Christina Delmont-Small, Board of Education Member Jennifer Mallo, Board of Education Member Sabina Taj, Board of Education Member Chao Wu, And all Principals of Howard County Schools, We are reaching out to you on behalf of current and former students of the Howard County Public School System, regarding racism within our community. Given the recent senseless murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, George Floyd, and countless other Black people, it is important to address how the Howard County Public School System has upheld structural and institutional racism in its schools. We must ensure that People of Color in the HCPSS community are heard and advocated for. HCPSS has a duty to provide their students with safe learning environments, where they receive equal education and adequate representation within that environment. The actions we have seen from HCPSS thus far are inadequate in addressing racism within the community and ensuring that Black students feel safe and represented in their communities. Regarding the June 4th statement from the superintendent regarding hateful incidences, we believe that simply addressing reported incidences of racial biases is not sufficient. Not all students who experience discrimination in the HCPSS school system feel comfortable reporting incidents of racism, so there are undoubtedly countless cases that go unnoticed and unaddressed. Punishing reported instances of racism is not enough. We need to dismantle the White supremacist notions that fuel these incidences.
