Monroe City Schools High School Registration Handbook 2019 – 2020 With the exception of courses that are a part of Carroll High School’s medical magnet program, the District shall strive to have all courses listed in this course catalog taught at each high school. However, if a course (other than a magnet program course) is ultimately not taught at a given school, students at that school who wish to take that course will be given the opportunity to take the course at another school in the District. The District will provide free transportation to the course, at the student’s request, and will adjust the student’s schedule and the scheduling and location of the course, as necessary, to facilitate the student’s attendance at the course. Monroe City Schools Mission Statement – The Monroe City School District is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. We hold high expectations for all students, parents, and staff. We share, with our community, the responsibility for providing a safe, caring environment designed to help students become productive citizens. We pledge all available resources to help prepare students to live and work in a rapidly changing technological society.

The Louisiana Transfer Associate Degree is designed to provide students with an opportunity to complete the first 60 hours of coursework toward a baccalaureate degree at a 2-year or community college. LT graduates are eligible to enter a 4-year Louisiana public university as a junior, with all 60 (non-developmental) credits transferring to the receiving university. The Transfer Degree Guarantee (TDG) refers to a guaranteed and easy transfer for students from a 2-year community college to a public university in Louisiana. Students may complete either an Associate of Arts (AALT) or Associate of Science (ASLT), depending on their interests and aspirations for further study and a bachelor’s degree. It is the student’s responsibility to choose courses that will maximize preparation for the university major, so it is important for students to do some research and seek advice when designing their LT degree. 2019-2020 Testing Programs ACT and SAT testing is open to students in grades 9 to 12. Colleges always consider the highest scores submitted by deadlines for admissions and scholarships so taking a test multiple times can help students.
