Advanced Placement (AP) courses are recommended for outstanding students. These courses are very chal-

lenging and are taught on a college level. There are extensive outside assignments and reading involved in

these courses. At the end of the course a standardized exam is taken on a national test day for each course.

Students who earn a 3 or better on the test can earn college credit for the course. Each college has a unique

acceptance policy for AP credits so it is strongly recommended that you review the policy for the college

you wish to attend. Below is recommended course of study prepared by the county curriculum department.

Course Descriptions

All AFJROTC courses require the student to wear the uniform once a week to all classes, with the exception of 1st year cadets. In addition, the student is required to meet USAF grooming standards as they relate to hair, jewelry, earrings, facial hair, etc. Prospective students should make certain they know these requirements prior to enrollment. Failure to wear the uniform or meet grooming standards will result in failure of the course. Note: Additional content will be covered so that the curriculum for this course is 40% Aerospace Science, 40% leadership, and 20% wellness. Two years of AFJROTC will meet the graduation requirement for HOPE and a PRACTICAL ART.

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a program designed to prepare students in the aca-demic

middle for four-year college. The AVID curriculum, based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle

and senior high school teachers in collaboration with college professors. It is driven by the WICR method, which

stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. AVID targets students in the aca-demic middle — B, C,

and even D students — who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These are stu-

dents who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum but are falling short of their potential. Typically, they

will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are from low-income or minority families. AVID

pulls these students out of their unchallenging courses and puts them on the college track: acceleration instead

of remediation.

CAREER PATHWAYS

In the Osceola School District, Career Pathways is designed to provide students a seamless pathway from middle school, through high school, and into post-secondary education. Post-secondary education might include

university, technical school, community college, or apprenticeship. A Career Pathway prepares students for suc-cess in each of these options; the correct option after high school is best determined by the student’s career plans.

Students begin their middle school years with introductory and exploratory classes in careers. Once in high school,

students can continue in classes and programs that provide specific training toward a desired career.

These programs prepare students to enter the appropriate college, technical institute, or entry level job in their chosen

career, often with a recognized industry certification and/or a Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars

Award.

In addition, students who complete a Career Pathway program develop the employ-

ability and technical skills required by employers in today’s globally

competitive marketplace.

Celebration High School provides a wide variety of Career Pathways (Career and Technical

Education or CTE) programs for students. Many programs offer special benefits to students.

CAREER ACADEMIES

A Career Academy is a small learning community within a high school that provides rigorous and relevant

instruction focused on preparation for both the workplace and college. It goes beyond traditional Career and

Technical Education to integrate academic and technical curricula, raise student ambitions, increase career op-

tions, and provide a meaningful learning context for all students.

Academies combine a college-preparatory curriculum with a career theme. Academic courses are linked with technical

courses that focus on the academy’s field of work.

A Career Academy is comprised of a cluster of students who have some of the same teach-

ers for at least two years, and who share several classes each year. Career Academies partner with local businesses and help provide work-based

experiences for Academy students.

To become part of a Career Academy at Celebration High School, contact the Academy’s CTE teacher to apply for the Academy and to help you enroll in the appropriate courses.

POST- SECONDARY ARTICULATION

Many Career Pathway courses and programs provide students the opportunity to gain free college credit from

Valencia Community College or free course acceleration from the Technical Education Center of Osceola

(TECO). Some courses can also gain the student free college credit from other state colleges.

To participate in this articulation process, students should talk with their CTE teacher to find out the specific requirements for

their program.

GOLD SEAL VOCATIONAL SCHOLARS AWARD

Most Career Pathway (CTE) courses qualify for this scholarship. All CTE courses offered at

Celebration High School qualify for Gold Seal if the student completes the CTE program (at least 3 courses

in order within the same program). Qualifying courses are listed on the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship

The Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Biomedical Sciences Program is a sequence of four courses which follows the

PLTW Engineering Program’s proven hands-on, real world problem-solving approach to learning. Students ex-

plore the concepts of human medicine and are introduced to bioinformatics, including mapping and analyzing

DNA. Through activities, like dissecting a heart, students examine the processes, structures, and interactions of

the human body – often playing the role of biomedical professionals to solve mysteries. Think CSI meets ER.

They also explore the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease by working collaboratively to conduct inves-

tigation.

The PLTW program is designed to serve high school students of diverse backgrounds, helping them all to become

college and career ready, from those already interested in STEM-related fields to those who are more inspired by

the application of STEM than they are by traditional math and science courses. The classes are taught during the

school day and every PLTW instructor receives extensive training, as well as ongoing support.
