Dear Parent and Students, Welcome to Homestead Senior High School! Home of the Broncos; where, “It’s a Matter of Pride.” The academy programs that will be offered during the 2010-2011 school year represent an exciting expansion of curricular options for our students. The academies that were developed meet the needs and interests of all students while offering a number of courses created on a continuum of academic difficulties. Students will select a four year course of study within one of the following eight academies:
• Academy of Hospitality & Tourism (Magnet)
• Academy of Aviation & Aerospace (Magnet)
• Academy of Health Sciences
• Academy of Education
• Academy of Architecture and Construction (Technology Education)
• Academy of Information Technology
• Academy of Law and Public Service
• Academy of Visual and Performing Arts Research has defined a framework of four basic motivational components that all students need in their schools: relevance of schoolwork, a caring and supportive human environment, opportunities for academic success, and support with personal challenges. Recent studies have examined and expanded upon the four basic motivational sources and described how academies can address each of the changes in school organization, curriculum, and instructional practices that Homestead Senior offer. This curriculum guide will provide information on academy selection, registration procedures, graduation requirements, and general school information. For additional information, please visit our school, Parent Resource Center, your child’s counselor, or visit our website at http://homesteadhigh.dadeschools.net. Best wishes for the 2010-2011 school year. Sincerely, Kerri Maysonet Principal Homestead Senior High School

READ THIS BULLETIN CAREFULLY. SHARE IT WITH YOUR PARENT/ GUARDIAN.
After you study the bulletin thoroughly, select courses within your interest and discuss your selections with your parent/guardian. You will have an opportunity to discuss your selections with your teachers and counselor in order to evaluate your choices in light of your performance, your aptitude, and your future plans. You will complete a subject selection sheet and your parent/guardian will be asked to sign it to indicate their approval of your choices. A parent/guardian signature on the subject selection sheet indicates parental approval.
Course Registration Procedures Fall registration is completed during the preceding spring, at which time all students meet with their counselor to select courses. The following is an outline of the registration procedure:
1. Articulation - Registration materials (Curriculum Bulletin, list of courses offered) are distributed and discussed.
2. Academic Advisement - Students will have the opportunity to discuss courses with his/her counselor, teachers and parent/guardian, based on performance, career goals, and graduation requirements.
3. Subject Selection Completion - Each student will sign and complete his/her subject selection sheet, and secure the appropriate teacher recommendation and parent/guardian signature. Each student will then return the sheet to his/her counselor by the announced date. Teacher recommendations for specific courses are based on the student's present performance and effort. However, if a parent/guardian disagrees with the teacher's recommendation and wishes to enroll the child in a different course, he/she should: a. Speak with the child's counselor. b. Request a "curriculum override" letter. This letter indicates the parent/guardian’s wish
to enroll the student in a class for which the child was not recommended. c. Return the letter to the child's counselor. The school will then honor the
parent/guardian request. Honors Classes are available for the student who can benefit by participating in class work, which requires an understanding of advanced concepts and in-depth mastery of subject matter. All students have an opportunity to elect an honors course. Before making this selection, however, students should consider the requirements of the course and the profile of a student who is successful in an honors class. Bonus points may be earned for successful completion.
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed for the high-ability student who is capable of handling college level work. These courses often necessitate the use of college level texts. Students enrolled in these courses prepare to take the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement examinations in May. The School Board has assumed the cost of the exam for the May test administration. No decision has been made yet regarding funding for future years. Most colleges and universities grant college credits to students who score a 3, 4, or 5 on the Advanced Placement exams. Bonus points may be earned for successful completion.
Schedule Changes for the 2010-2011 school year should be completed by the end of June 2010. School personnel will be available during the summer to discuss individual situations relating to career/education changes. Schedule changes during the opening of school are based on the following criteria only: a) completion of a scheduled course during summer school; b) computer errors; and c) class leveling. AFTER JUNE 30, 2010, NO SCHEDULE CHANGES WILL BE GRANTED BASED ON A STUDENT’S CHANGE OF MIND.

Academy of Health Science Practical Nursing / First Responder The Practical Nursing Program at Homestead Senior High School was the first approved secondary program of its type in Florida, and is currently the only two-year high school nursing program in MDCPS. The graduates are eligible to take the examination to become Licensed Practical Nurses and begin an exciting career in health care. The Practical Nursing Program allows secondary students to receive specialized training while completing their high school requirements. It complements their academic achievements by offering honors credit for specific courses in the curriculum. In addition, it has received accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), and for the past six years has matched or exceeded the national passage rate on the Florida State Board of Nursing Licensing Exam. The First Responder is part of a team that provides pre-hospital emergency care and transportation to the injured and sick. This curriculum combines academics with hands-on skills and case presentations/scenarios in order to perform error free emergency skills. The Health Science Programs are excellent models for the School-To-Career initiatives leading to School Improvement. The major focus is Student Achievement through the promotion of high academic and behavioral standards. The classes are made up of smaller learning communities as the Florida State Board of Nursing governs two of the programs. The hospital facilities are our community partners, and allow our students the opportunity to apply their learning and critical thinking skills to make supervised workplace decisions. The curriculum focuses on higher achievement, promoting critical thinking, problem solving skills, communication, and cooperative learning. A percentage of the clinical grade is based on Curriculum Based Vocational Behaviors, which measures job related behaviors and personal qualities related to career preparation.

Students also are prepared for entrepreneurial prospects of owning their childcare facilities. Students who choose to pursue the Early Childhood Education will be able to create and manage developmentally appropriate, safe, healthy learning environments for children so that “every child will thrive”. The Teacher Education strand provides students with the opportunity to be actively involved in the teaching-learning process. Students who choose a career in Teacher Education act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussion and hands-on approaches to help students learn and apply concepts to subjects such as science, mathematics, or English; while preparing children for the world of work or college.
