Scheduling Handbook Notes of Interest

The first two years of high school consist of Basic Studies, a core group of courses, which are required in order to move to the final two years of high school.  The final two years will include a chosen Academy of study in which students select an area that most meets their career interest needs.  Elective classes are offered in each Academy to allow students to enroll in courses that are interesting to them.  A good background can be achieved for each student, whether they plan to enroll in college, technical training or enter the work world upon graduation.

Electives may include college classes at Owensboro Community and Technical College.  Students who maintain a 3.0 GPA will be eligible to enroll for two blocks their senior year of high school.  Refer to Senior College Hours in this handbook for scheduling.

Scores from the Commonwealth Testing System will be placed on transcripts.
