Useful Information

Handbooks

Student Handbooks and the Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct are given to each student at the beginning of the school year.  Both books offer valuable information and should be kept as a guide for parents and students.

Grade Level Classification

Grade level classification will be based upon the number of credits successfully completed.  Grade level classifications require the following earned credits:

            10th grade                    5 credits
            11th grade                  10 credits
            12th grade                  15 credits

SAT, ACT, and PSAT/NMSQT

The SAT and ACT college entrance exams are administered on several dates during the year.  The PSAT/NMSQT is a preliminary test for the SAT, but it is also the test by which 11th grade students enter competition for National Merit Scholarships.  Sophomore students are encouraged to discuss this test with their counselors at the beginning of the sophomore year in order to take it for practice.  Information regarding these tests may be obtained from the counselors.
