Mission Statement

The mission of Millington Central High School is to educate all learners in a safe environment and prepare students to function effectively as members of an ever-changing global and technological

society.

Introduction The Millington Central High School Course Catalog provides a general description of courses available. Because course availability is determined by need as students register in the spring for the following year’s courses, not every elective course is offered every year. Courses may be unavailable contingent on student interest, budgetary constraints, or staffing. Parents and students may use this directory as a reference for graduation requirements, course offerings, course prerequisites, course credits, and course descriptions.

Counseling Services

Grade-level school counselors meet with each of their students individually each year. Emphasis is placed on academic advice and planning for a successful four-year program in preparation for continued post-high school education and the world of work. Enrichment visits are made to the classrooms to discuss, among various topics, study skills, decision-making, test testing skills, transcripts, calculating the GPA, and state mandated testing. The Counseling Department organizes workshops for parents and students on financial aid, the College and Career Fair, college admissions procedures, college requirements, and scholarships. Our guidance counselors are available to assist students in crisis and provide individual counseling for students who are at risk of dropping out of school, who have a personal problem, or who may need assistance from a social agency.

Grade Classification

High school students in Millington Municipal Schools are classified as follows:

• Less than f ive (5) credits 9th Grade • Earned f ive (5) credits and passed English 9 10th Grade • Earned e leven (11) credits and passed English 10 11th Grade • Earned s ix teen (16) credits* and passed English 11 12th Grade

* In accordance to the Tennessee State Department of Education requirements, students classified as 12th graders must be enrolled in a full schedule (12 semesters) of credit-bearing courses their senior year.

State Mandated TN Ready Tests

Mandated by the Tennessee State Board of Education are TN Ready tests in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, English 9, English 10, English 11, and U.S. History. The students’ scores become part of the permanent record and count as a percentage of their final semester grade in the respective class.

Advanced Placement Program The Advanced Placement Program consists of college-level courses and AP College Board exams that provide high school students the opportunity to receive college credit. AP courses are introductory or second year college courses and are taught as a college class. They are much more rigorous than an honors class. Students who enroll in a College Board Advanced Placement course are required to take the College Board AP examination in May. The College Board fee for the AP Exam is approximately $90.00 and is non-refundable. Students must be eligible for this program and must complete the AP application process and sign an AP contract.

Dual Enrollment

In conjunction with the University of Memphis, high school students from Millington Municipal Schools may be enrolled concurrently in high school and at the University of Memphis in a college course taught at the high school. This program provides opportunities for students to begin working on a college degree while pursuing a high school diploma and receive dual credit, at the high school level and college. Students may apply for the Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant to defray the cost of college tuition. ACT requirements apply. This class is not counted as an honors or AP class; therefore, no additional points are added. For high school credit and transcripts, the Millington Municipal grade scale is used. For the University of Memphis transcript, the university grade scale is applicable. Please contact the senior counselor for additional information on dual enrollment.

* Alternative Credit For Physical Education For the .5 credit for the TN Diploma Project Graduation Requirement

Pass/Fail Grade only, no numerical grade High school students may earn one-half (.50) credit through participation in approved extracurricular activities, according to the following Millington Municipal Schools requirements:

• To ensure that the minimum 80 hours of physical activity are included, the activity must be approved by the principal.

• Appropriate activities may include, but are not limited to, all Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) sanctioned sports, as well as cheerleading and marching band. The principal shall provide to the superintendent a list of all approved activities annually.

• The student must submit a Request for Alternative Credit for Physical Education signed by the faculty coach, sponsor, or teacher verifying participation and completion of the activity.

• The student must successfully complete the entire activity or season with an attendance rate of at least 90%.

• The grade for alternative credit for physical education will be recorded as “pass” on the student’s transcript and will NOT be used in calculating the student’s GPA.

Course Selection for Spring Registration Grade level counselors meet with students to determine course selections for the following school year. During the spring registration process, students take home their Course Request Sheets for the parent to sign. All registration forms, including applications for select courses, must be returned. If not, students lose priority for scheduling in the desired courses. Once classes reach their maximum enrollment, other courses are substituted where class seats are available. Freshmen must enroll in fourteen semester classes. Students in grades 10-12 must take twelve semester classes and may take fourteen, if space is available in the elective courses. NOTE: Because of limited available seats in foreign language classes, ninth and tenth graders cannot be guaranteed enrollment in a first year foreign language class unless they have acute language acquisition skills as demonstrated by standardized test scores.

Course Drop/Add Policy Because of constraints with the semester schedule, students will not be permitted to drop a required or elective class and add another during the same semester. Following spring registration, students will remain in all selected classes.

Honors Diploma In order to best prepare students for college and an ever more competitive global job market, Millington Municipal Schools supports, encourages and motivates students to challenge themselves by taking the most rigorous course of study. Students eligible for the Honors Diploma must have earned twelve (12) Honors or Advanced Placement credits (any combination) in Grades 9-12 or a combination of such credits totaling twelve (12), with each Advanced Placement credit equal to 1.5 honors credits. A minimum of two (2) Honors or Advanced Placement courses is required during the senior year. A qualified graduate will receive a Diploma that indicates the Honor status and Honors Diploma will be printed on the Graduate's final high school transcript.

Graduating With Honors

If students score at or above all of the subject area readiness benchmarks on the ACT or the equivalent score on the SAT, they will graduate with honors.
