INTRODUCTION

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

The 2021-2022 HCS High School Course Catalog has been revised and updated to assist you with the course selection process for the upcoming school year. The purpose of this guide is to provide you with the information and resources you need to choose high school courses that will lead to college or career readiness. We encourage you to review course descriptions and prerequisites to make the best and most informed decision you can when choosing courses.

For quick reference and easy use of the digital Course Catalog, click on a section in the Table of Contents and you will be taken directly to that section. The guide begins with Alabama High School Graduation Requirements. It is important to make note of these requirements as they will serve as a guide when selecting courses in required core subject areas, required electives and additional electives required for graduation. Other information regarding grade classification, distance learning, dual enrollment, academic eligibility for extracurricular activities is also included for your reference.

Your grade level school counselor will serve as your point of contact for all things related to course selection and registration. Counselors will be provided with information, materials, and resources to effectively assist students with course selection. Please do not hesitate to reach out to them if you need help or have questions.

We recognize the course selection and registration process is important for students and their families and for our schools. We offer assistance in many forms: classroom guidance activities with students, parent/guardian meetings, printed and digital resources, and school registration events. We look forward to working with you as we are preparing for the 2021-2022 school year.

Sincerely,

Huntsville City Schools Secondary Programs Department

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement (AP) program provides high school students with the opportunity to complete college-level studies while they are enrolled in secondary schools. These challenging and thought-provoking courses often take more time, require more work, and go into greater depth than regular level courses. Students who enroll in Advanced Placement classes are required to take the AP exams at the end of the academic year to receive the extra GPA quality point.

In Huntsville, the Advanced Placement program is an integral part of the school system's instructional program and is valued for its contribution to academic excellence. Should a student wish to take an AP course not taught at the student’s high school of enrollment, the request to enroll in the course at another high school may be made with the student’s guidance counselor. Transportation to the other high school may be provided.

Credit Recovery

Students who did not receive credit in a course because they did not master course content or skills may apply for credit recovery. Credit recovery is based on making up deficiencies rather than on repeating the entire course. To be eligible for credit recovery, students must have achieved a baseline score of 40 or above (on a 100-point scale). The final grade in credit recovery may not exceed 70 on a 100-point scale. Students with a baseline score below 40 (on a 100-point scale) are not eligible for credit recovery and must repeat the entire course. Credit recovery may be delivered by a highly-qualified teacher or through an accredited digital platform, such as Edgenuity, under the supervision of a Huntsville City School staff member.

Note: The NCAA Eligibility Center does NOT accept credits earned through Credit Recovery. Athletes seeking eligibility through the NCAA Eligibility Center MUST repeat the entire course. For more information, please speak to your athletic director or guidance counselor.

Credit Advancement

Huntsville City Schools offers students who exhibit proficiency beyond the level required for all students for an individual course the opportunity to pursue Credit Advancement as an alternative to the traditional Carnegie Unit approach to course completion. For a student to be eligible for Credit Advancement he or she must: 1. Be recommended by a current or former teacher of the subject/course being considered for Credit Advancement. 2. Have criterion-referenced or norm-referenced test scores that support an above grade-level proficiency of content in the subject/course being considered for Credit Advancement. 3. Complete a Request for Credit Advancement form, signed by the parent or guardian, the high school counselor, and high school principal.

Credit Advancement may occur in the following two ways: • The student may request to take an End-of-Course Assessment covering all the standards of the course before formal enrollment in the course. o The state End-of-Course Assessment must be given before the end of each semester. o A mastery score of 80 or above must be obtained to receive credit for the course through Credit Advancement, and this score will be included in the student’s overall Grade Point Average. o If a student (or parent/guardian) does not want to accept (rejects) the student’s mastery score of 80 or above, the student may enroll in the course in the traditional classroom. • The student may show Proficiency during a course and request permission to work ahead through independent and teacher-supported assignments or through online opportunities. o At a point jointly agreed upon by the student and teacher of record, the student will be administered the End-of-Course Assessment, and if he or she obtains a proficiency score of 80 or above, the student may move forward into the next course in the sequence of that content area. o This situation would offer an opportunity for the student to pursue online options or other developed options for individualized independent study. o The student will be allowed to take each end of course Assessment for Credit Advancement one time. • The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) does not recognize Credit Advancement for course credit.

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES/ATHLETICS

Voluntary extracurricular and co-curricular activities are defined as continuing activities available to students during and beyond the regular day. Students must be enrolled in Huntsville City Schools to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities. Because New Century Technology High School does not offer an athletic program, New Century students are eligible to participate at their zoned home schools.

Academic eligibility for participation in sports will be governed by the rules of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA). No grade requirement beyond those established by the AHSAA may be imposed for sports or cheerleading. Requirements beyond those established by the AHSAA, however, may be imposed for other school activities. Other school system rules, including conduct rules, apply to students participating in band, choral, drama, sports, cheerleading, and other extracurricular and co-curricular activities. (Huntsville City Schools Policy Number105-23) Huntsville City Schools (each school) is a member of the Alabama High School Athletic Association. Rules set forth by AHSAA govern all eligibility and participation criteria. Rules pertaining to high school athletic eligibility may be found at the AHSAA website.

NCAA First Year Student Eligibility Standards Quick Reference

Students who hope to participate in college athletics should become familiar with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) guidelines to be prepared for academic eligibility to participate in collegiate athletics. The eligibility standards required by the NCAA are affected by course selection and course grades throughout high school as well as scores on the ACT/SAT. Student, parents, and/or guardians are encouraged to download the “Guide for College-Bound Student-Athlete” available at the NCAA Eligibility Center.

To view the NCAA website and download the guide go to: https://web3.ncaa.org/hsportal/exec/links?linksSubmit=ShowActiveLinks

KNOW THE RULES… Core Courses • NCAA Division I requires 16 core courses. See the charts on the following page. • Beginning August 1, 2016, NCAA Division I requires 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of the 10 must be a combination of English, math or natural or physical science that meet the distribution requirements below). These 10 courses become “locked in” at the start of the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement. • Beginning August 1, 2016, it will be possible for a Division I college-bound student-athlete to still receive athletics aid and the ability to practice with the team if he or she fails to meet the 10-course requirement, but he or she would not be able to compete. Test Scores • Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA). The sliding scale for those requirements is shown on the following page. • Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 920 or an ACT sum score of 70, with a minimum core GPA of 2.2. • The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used. • The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading, and science. • When you register for the SAT or ACT, use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 to ensure all SAT and ACT scores are reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will not be used. Grade Point Average • Be sure to look at your high school’s list of NCAA Courses on the Eligibility Center's website. o http://www.eligibilitycenter.org/ • Only courses that appear on your school’s list of NCAA Courses will be used in the calculation of the core GPA. Use the list as a guide. o To look up a list of courses offered at your school go to: https://web3.ncaa.org/hsportal/exec/hsAction?hsActionSubmit=searchHighSchool • Division I students enrolling full time before August 1, 2016 should use Sliding Scale A to determine eligibility to receive athletics aid, practice, and competition during the first year. • Division I GPA required to receive athletics aid and practice on or after August 1, 2016 is 2.000-2.299 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B on page two of this sheet). • Division I GPA required to be eligible for competition on or after August 1, 2016 is 2.300 (corresponding test- score requirements are listed on Sliding Scale B in the link listed below). • The Division II core GPA requirement is a minimum of 2.2. • Remember, the NCAA GPA is calculated using NCAA core courses only.

Division I Division II (16 Core Courses) (16 Core Courses) • 4 years of English • 3 years of English • 3 years of mathematics (Algebra I or • 2 years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher) higher) • 2 years of natural/physical science (1 year • 2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school) of lab if offered by high school) • 1 year of additional English, mathematics, • 3 years of additional English, mathematics, or natural/physical science or natural/physical science • 2 years of social science • 2 years of social science • 4 years of additional courses (from any • 4 years of additional courses (from any area above, foreign language, or area above, foreign language, or comparative religion/philosophy) comparative religion/philosophy)
