LHS Testing

Ask me about English III and IV Dual Enrollment

If you do NOT pass your EOC exams, you do NOT graduate.

*All students will take the ACT test series as part of school accountability in March.

Freshmen will take the EXPLORE test. Sophomores will take the PLAN test. Juniors will take the ACT test. The

test will be free to students because the Louisiana Department of Education is requiring the schools to give the test to all public school students. It will be given on a week day and students will be allowed to use their scores for college entrance requirements.

End of Course Exams EOCs will be given at the

end of the Fall semester in December and at the end of the Spring semester in May◦ Algebra I◦ Geometry◦ English II◦ English III◦ Biology◦ US History

Credit Recovery Credit recovery is an instructional program for students who have failed core courses taken previously. Credit recovery courses are taught using computer software programs aligned with the state’s content standards and grade level expectations. To recover credit, the student must pass a comprehensive final exam approved by the State Department of Education. A student athlete interested in a Division I or II University MUST repeat the required courses in their entirety to fulfill the NCAA requirements. Students cannot simply repeat the deficient skills of a required course they fail. In other words, they cannot use the credit recovery option for promotion of subjects failed. It will not meet the NCAA requirement for that course.

Please take note that prerequisites for certain courses are included. Do not schedule a course with a prerequisite unless you have fulfilled the necessary requirements.

The course directory contains brief descriptions of courses along with necessary information as to grade level prerequisites. Honors and gifted are the highest academic levels. On-level is the average academic level. Be sure that the level of the course fits your abilities and you meet all requirements and prerequisites.

Student schedules will be determined according to IGPs (5 year plan) and your AOC (Area of Concentration)!!! Students will be held accountable for choices once schedules are completed. Schedules will not be changed after the first week of a new semester unless the change is approved by the Principal or Assistant Principal. Contact your School Counselor before the end of May to turn in your 5 year plans signed by parents.

Information on Scheduling!!!

Schedules will NOT be changed without parental approval!!!!!!!

Students may not receive credit for the same course twice.

An Area of Concentration (AOC) must be completed in order to be allowed to graduate with a High School Diploma. Electives must be related to the student’s AOC. This applies to the graduating class of 2013 and beyond.

In order for a student to complete an AOC he/she must take 4 primary classes and 2 related classes. AOC descriptions are located on the next pages.

If you are interested in taking Advanced Placement classes, indicate your desire on your schedule request and IGP!!!! Let Ms. LeBlanc know that you are interested.
