INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this guide is to help you and your parents make better decisions about your course selections for the

coming year. It is essential that you think seriously about a particular subject before scheduling. Each class that you

choose should be a part of an overall plan. Read this guide carefully and discuss your plans with your parents.

COMPLIANCE NOTICE

The St. Tammany Parish School Board adheres to the equal opportunity provisions of the Federal Civil Rights laws

and regulations that are applicable to this agency. Therefore, no one will be discriminated against on the basis of race,

color, or national origin (Title VVI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964); sex (Title IX of the Education Amendments of

1972); disability (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) in attaining educational goals and objectives and in

the administration of personnel policies and procedures.

COUNSELORS

A counselor is assigned to you and will work with you concerning vocational and career information, college and

scholarship counseling, personal problems, testing, written recommendations, references, etc. You would be well

advised to communicate your unique interests, abilities, needs, and ambitions to your counselor.

It is important to understand that the role of the counseling staff is to advise students. Students’ and their

parents/guardians’ assume full responsibility for the courses scheduled. Though the school personnel will attempt

to locate and correct any errors, it is the students’ and their parents’ responsibilities to select courses, keep copies of

records and plan their schedules to meet all requirements for graduation. Also, parents and students have the

responsibility to check requirements for the college of their choice and to schedule high school coursework

accordingly.

LEAP 2025

The Louisiana Department of Education has initiated a LEAP 2025 assessment program to support consistent and

rigorous standards in key high school courses. Beginning in 2010-2011 and beyond, all students must pass three

LEAP 2025 Tests in the following categories to earn a standard diploma: (a) English I or English II; (b) Algebra I or

Geometry; and (c) Biology or U.S. History.

DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM

Dual Enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school students, currently attending St. Tammany Parish public

or private schools, to concurrently enroll in a college course. The credits that students earn will be eligible towards

both a high school diploma and college credit. To be eligible for the Dual Enrollment Program, please see the

“Eligibility Guidelines” for each institution in this Program of Study.

GRADE CLASSIFICATION

Classification Minimum Credits

Sophomores 5 credits

Juniors 11 credits

Seniors 17 credits

Total Credits for Graduation - TOPS University Diploma 24 credits

Total Credits for Graduation - TOPS Tech Diploma 23 credits

SUMMER SCHOOL

The purpose of summer school is to enable students to make up subjects failed. The subjects offered are determined

by student requests. To obtain credit for a summer school course, the student must be enrolled in an accredited summer

school program and must successfully complete the requirements of the course. If a student intends to attend a summer

school program which is not sponsored by the St. Tammany Parish School System, the student must submit

documentation concerning the accreditation of that summer school program to the school counselor prior to entering

that program. District personnel determines whether the student will receive credit for the course.

SHORT DAY FOR SENIORS Since a seven-period day schedule has been funded to enhance educational opportunities for high school students it is

the intent of the St. Tammany Parish School District to have students complete four years of high school education.

It is strongly recommended that students who wish to get an early start in college participate in Early Start/Dual

Enrollment courses or Advanced Placement courses. Seniors are required to enroll in 5 classes for credit during both

semesters in their senior year. If they choose to request a short day, applications are in the school counseling office.

Seniors must have a minimum of 19 credits and athletes cannot schedule short day in the afternoon.

INDIVIDUAL GRADUATION PLAN (IGP) The Louisiana Department of Education requires every students to develop, with the input of his/her parent/ guardian,

an IGP by the end of the eighth grade. The purpose of the IGP document includes: explorer educational and career

opportunities, make appropriate secondary/post-secondary decisions as part of an overall career plan, outline a course

of study based on the student’s talents and interests, and considerate graduation requirements relevant to the student’s

chosen area of concentration and post-secondary requirements. The student, parent/guardian, and counselor will

review the plan annually.

RANK IN CLASS Rank-In-Class Rank in class will be based upon quality points a student completes in grades 9-12. Although, a full-

time high school student may complete more than 28 Carnegie credits, only 28 Carnegie credits will be applied toward

a student’s rank in class. Rank in class is determined based upon: A student’s best 28 Carnegie credits completed in

grades 9-12. AND A student’s best 16 weighted Carnegie courses from the designated course list completed in grades

9-12. Consequently, the student who earns the most quality points will be ranked number one in the graduating class.

All St. Tammany Parish students shall attempt 3.5 credits each semester in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. To attempt

fewer than 3.5 credits per semester, a student must receive prior approval from the Assistant Superintendent of

Curriculum and Instruction. Students electing to take a short day schedule in the senior year will negatively impact

their rank-in-class. A student electing short day in the senior year may earn fewer quality points than seniors taking 7

credit classes. Transfer grades will be weighted only in the subjects weighted in the district.

WEIGHTED COURSES

Weighted grades apply to English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies in designated courses of honors, gifted,

Advanced Placement, and articulated, non-remedial college courses. A notation will appear on the transcript to

indicate which courses were weighted. All students enrolled in weighted courses will receive an extra quality point

for an A, B, or C earned in a maximum of 16 weighted courses from the designated weighted courses.
