It is our mission to make sure all students are equipped for the future. Towards this goal, each student will work closely with an advisor to set career goals and to determine the requirements for meeting these goals. Parents will be included in part of this planning process. It is our hope that most of our students will be setting goals that include a college education. For these students, every effort will be made to prepare them for the challenges of college. However, some students, for personal reasons, may have different goals.
Every effort will be made to ensure that each student is prepared to continue with his or her education or to move competently into the workforce.

Standardized Testing
Standardized tests will be administered at the beginning of the year and may assist in the placement of students in the appropriate level classes. Tests will also be administered in April to indicate progress through the year. The PSAT is administered in October each year for eleventh grade students. These tests will provide students with valuable practice in taking standardized tests.
Students preparing for the SAT or ACT tests will be provided with some preparatory training for them. Although standardized test scores should not be used as the only measure of a student’s academic achievement, they are important for college entrance and will be taken seriously by the school.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) for each student is determined by averaging the student’s grades based on a 4.0-point system. Students taking dual-credit courses will be awarded extra points towards their GPA. Students maintaining a 3.5 or higher are considered to be Honor Graduates.
A = 4.0 (Superior)
B = 3.0 (Above Average)
C = 2.0 (Meets Minimum Requirements)
D = 1.0 (Passing, but Below Average)
F = 0 (Failing)
