Dear Parents and Students:

The decisions that you make during high school greatly affect the rest of your life. The choices you make, from course selections to participation in extra-curricular activities, shape the person that you are to become. It is with this in mind that we urge you to carefully examine the options provided within this course catalog/guide and to seek the advisement of parents, teachers, adult mentors and counselors in this process.

This catalog contains a comprehensive listing of the approved courses for Owen County High School. Please note that all required courses are available each year to assure that students’ graduation needs are met.

To provide the opportunity for students to access multiple courses in their high school experience, some program electives are offered on a cycle. Please be advised that elective course availability to students in any given year may be limited by demand (number of students requesting), available staffing, and conflicts with other course selections. For example, if there is low demand for a course, it may be eliminated from the master schedule or the number of sections may be reduced so courses with greater demand can be offered.

To complement this course catalog and assist in scheduling, each year a course selection sheet listing the available elective offerings for the upcoming year is published and provided to every student during the academic advisement and registration process. This list includes courses available by department along with credit values and pre-requisite information.

Also included in this catalog is information relative to graduation requirements and the pre-college curriculum as well as other relevant academic planning information.

As you chart your course for the future, we urge you to challenge yourself to explore new areas and develop your talents. The faculty and staff of Owen County High School want the best for our students and we urge both students and parents to take advantage of the various programs and opportunities that we are able to make available to you. If you have questions, please feel free to call our offices at (502) 484-5509.

This curriculum guide has been developed to furnish students and parents with some of the information that will be necessary for them to select an appropriate high school schedule. Since the needs of each student vary so much, it may be necessary that you supplement this information by talking with teachers, counselors, or administrators. Our broad and varied curriculum offers many opportunities for students at OCHS. We want to work with both parents and students to select the curricular program that will best serve the needs of the individual students.

Please select your courses with care. Be careful to include any subjects you have failed that are requirements toward graduation. It is YOUR responsibility to sign up for the correct classes. Please do not list any class on your plan that you would not be willing to take. We sincerely hope that you have a wonderful year in 2016-17!

Sincerely,

The Guidance Office and Administration Staff

ATHLETIC ELIGLIBILTY FOR ATHLETES

Guidelines for the standards for Athletic Eligibility are determined by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) and each high school in Kentucky must be in compliance. These guidelines do not necessarily align with the credits required for promotion set by each high school.

As of the first day of school of the sophomore year, the athlete must have a minimum of five (5) credits; the junior year eleven (11) credits; the senior year seventeen (17) credits.

During the season, a weekly grade check will be made by the Athletic Director to ensure a competing athlete does not have two (2) failing grades for that semester. If failing two (2) subjects, the athlete will be suspended for the next week and until the grades are passing.

NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE & NAIA ELIGIBILITY CENTER

NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE: Students who wish to participate in NCAA Division I or Division II athletics as a freshman in college should apply for certification through the NCAA clearinghouse following their sixth (6th) semester of high school which should coincide with the end of the Junior Year but no later than November of their Senior Year.

To register go to: www.eligibilitycenter.org . Complete the required information, print transcript release authorizations, and bring them to the high school guidance office. A copy of your current transcript will be sent to the Clearinghouse. A preliminary certification will be issued at that time. After graduation, the guidance office will send your final transcript to the NCAA Clearinghouse upon request from the student. After reviewing your transcript, a final certification decision will be made according to the NCAA standards. Academic eligibility is based on High School Core Course GPA and ACT or SAT scores. These standards are available on the NCAA website above or www.NCAA.org .

SAT and ACT scores must be reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center from the testing center. Scores on transcripts will not be used. When registering for the SAT or ACT, use code “9999” to release scores to the NCAA Clearinghouse.

The NCAA core –course grade-point average is calculated using only the NCAA- approved courses in the required core academic areas. Important Note: High school grade point averages generally include the grades from most or all courses attempted in grades 9 -12 and will not accurately represent your standing.

Sixteen (16) core courses are required. These include: 4 years of English 3 years of Math (Algebra I or higher) 2 years of Natural/Physical Science (1 year lab, if offered) 1 year of additional English, Math or Natural/Physical Science 2 years of Social Studies 4 years of additional courses from any area above or foreign language

For students enrolling in college on or after August 1, 2016, note the following changes in the academic rules in order to receive athletics aid, practice or compete during their first year: Complete 16 core courses (the same distribution as in the past)

Ten of the 16 core courses must be completed before the seventh semester (senior year) of high school

Seven of the 10 core courses must be English, math or science Have a minimum core-course grade-point average of a 2.300

Grades earned in the 10 courses required before the senior year are “Locked In” for purposes of grade point calculation

A repeat of a “Locked In” course will not be used to improve grade-point average if taken after the seventh semester begins

Meet the competition sliding scale requirement of grade-point average and ACT/SAT score (this is a new scale that increases the grade-point average/test score requirements)

Graduate from high school

High School Core Courses are submitted annually and must be approved to be considered as a part of the core 16 for eligibility. Approved core courses for our school are listed on our schools 48-H/NCAA Approved Core Courses Form which can be found on the NCAA website.

Students who are serious about participating in NCAA Division I and Division II athletics are advised to visit this form periodically to assure that they are enrolled in the correct courses to satisfy these requirements.

NAIA ELIGIBILITY CENTER: Students interested in playing sports at NAIA colleges need to register and have their eligibility to play determined through the NAIA Eligibility Center. Registration is advised at the end of the junior year (sixth semester) of high school.

When you register, you create a personal profile which you can have sent directly to NAIA colleges that match your interests. You’ll need your current contact information, previous addresses, high schools attended and history of sports participation during and after high school graduation.Eligible athletes must meet two of the following three qualifiers:

1. Achieve a minimum of 18 on the ACT or 860 on the SAT2. Achieve a minimum overall high school GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale3. Graduate in the top half of your high school class

A transcript as well as ACT and/or SAT scores are required to determine eligibility. Upon registering have the high school guidance office counselor or registrar send your transcript to the NAIA Eligibility Center. A final transcript should be sent upon graduation. The official final transcript must verify class rank, cumulative grade point average and high school graduation date.

ACT and SAT scores must be reported directly to the NAIA Eligibility Center from the testing center. Scores on transcripts will not be used. When registering for the SAT or ACT, use code “9876” to release scores to the NAIA Eligibility Center.

For more information or to register with the NAIA, go to www.PlayNAIA.org .The Governor’s Scholars Program

The Governor’s Scholars Program is a statewide program designed to motivate and empower Kentucky’s brightest young people to become effective citizens. Students are eligible to apply during their junior year. Select state universities will host the program during the summer between the student’s junior and senior year. Owen County High School will submit a select number of candidates, based on the junior class size. A statewide committee will then select the finalists for the program. This all-expense paid residential program will challenge the student with an educational philosophy that is interdisciplinary and non-traditional, with hands-on experiences. Most state universities provide partial or full scholarships to Governor’s Scholars Alumni. Juniors should plan on taking the ACT and/or PSAT, in order to enhance your application.

GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL FOR THE ARTSThe Governor’s School for the Arts provides hands-on-arts opportunity for the states talented high school students who are dancers, actors, instrumental and vocal musicians, creative writers, future architects or visual artists. GSA’s primary component includes a three week summer program, regional arts workshops and master classes, college and career day and an artistic roster of performing and visual artists made up of GSA alumni.

ACADEMIC AND TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTSYou will hear about various assessments that are administered during high school. Listed below are brief descriptions of some of these assessments.See your counselor regarding registration, fees (if required), test dates and sites.

ACT: The American College Test is required at all public universities and many private institutions in Kentucky. The test is divided into four sections; English, math, reading, and science reasoning. Colleges use the ACT not only for admission but also for awarding scholarships and placing students in special programs. There is a fee for this exam.

ASVAB –the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is a career exploration instrument offered by the Department of Defense to juniors in the fall of each year. The results of the ASVAB will serve as an individual guide to educational and career planning.

COMPASS:The COMPASS is a comprehensive computerized placement and diagnostic assessment system developed by ACT. This test can be used for college and career readiness.

KOSSA: The Kentucky Occupational Skill Standards Assessment is administered tojuniors and seniors who have completed three courses in one of the following career and technical career majors: Business(Administrative Support Services and Business Management); Agriculture (Production Livestock, Horticulture). Students who pass the exam with a 70% will receive a certificate of proficiency that they can use when applyingfor a job.

PSAT:The PSAT is given to sophomores and juniors on a voluntary basis. This test is used to determine the National Merit Scholarship finalist and semifinalist. The PSAT is a very rigorous test and a fee is required. OCHS will pay for the top 15 students at the 10th and 11th grade level to take this exam.

WorkKeys: WorkKeys gives you a better idea about your readiness for theworkforce in general and for specific jobs and careers. WorkKeys test questions are based onsituations in the everyday work world. You may find employers in your community who

will ask for your scores during an interview. These scores help employers choose the most qualified candidates for their jobs. Three tests make up the WorkKeys assessment: Reading forInformation, Locating Information, and Applied Math. Students passing all three assessments will receive the coveted National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC)

What is College and Career Readiness? At Owen County High School, we want all students to be College or Career Ready when they earn their diploma. This means that we need to help improve ACT scores for students who are on a college path, or we need to help prepare students to be career ready in one of the many career paths that are available at Owen County High School. The following pages will provide specific details about college and career readiness and the ways every student can achieve this.

How to Become College Ready. In order to be considered college ready by the state of Kentucky, students must meet certain benchmarks on a variety of tests. Below are the possible tests, with the score cutoffs a student must receive to be considered college ready. The scores are also required by colleges to avoid taking and paying for development courses for which a student would not receive any college credit hours.

Benchmarking on ACT All Juniors at OCHS take this test in March. Students may take or retake it here at OCHS on national test dates. English- 18 or higher Math- 19 or higher Reading- 20 or higher

Benchmarking on COMPASS This is a college placement test and helps colleges decide what courses students should take once they are admitted. This will be given at various points a student’s senior year.English- 74 or higher Math- 36 or higher Reading- 85 or higher Benchmarking KYOTEThis is a college placement test that helps colleges decide what math courses students should take once they are admitted. Math- 22 Reading- 20 English- 6 ********************************************************************** If a student fails to meet one of the benchmarks on the ACT, but later scores the benchmark on COMPASS or KYOTE, they are considered college ready in the state of Kentucky. Colleges use these scores so students will not have to take remedial courses which do not count for credit. These scores are not used for entrance into colleges.

HOW TO BECOME CAREER READY In order to be considered career ready, students must complete 4 specific courses in a career path and meet benchmarks for either the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) or the ACT WorkKeys and must pass the benchmark on the KOSSA

10

(Kentucky Occupational Skills Standards Assessment) or receive Industry Certificates in their specific career path. ASVAB- Students must receive a 50 Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT).

OR WorkKeys- Students must earn a silver, gold or platinum rating in the areas of Applied Math, Locating Information and Reading for Information.

AND KOSSA- Students must earn a 70 on academic, employability, occupational multiple choice questions.

OR Industry Certificates- These certificates are based on industry standards and are outlined in the specific program. **************************************************************** On the following pages, the career paths OCHS students can achieve either by KOSSA testing or Industry Certificates are listed. Under the area will be the specific courses the student will need to take in order to be eligible for KOSSA testing or receive the Industry Certificate.
