General DiplomaGeneral Diploma

Beginning with students who enter high school in 2007-2008, completion of Core 40 becomes a graduation requirement.

A general diploma is only available to students whose parents feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum.

To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt-out process must be completed.

Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an admissions requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have additional admissions requirements).

Core 40 Opt-Out TriggersCore 40 Opt-Out Triggers A parent may request that a student be exempted A parent may request that a student be exempted

COURSE RETAKE/GRADE REPLACEMENT

A grade retake/replacement occurs when a student retakes a class that he/she has already taken to hopefully receive a better grade. A student who receives below a C- on a course may retake that course for credit. The second grade earned will replace the original grade—no matter what the grade—and shall count for grade point average and class rank. The original grade will remain on the transcript with the credit for that class being transferred to the second class. A student may take advantage of this option up to two times in his/her high school career. This would allow a student trying to earn an Indiana Academic Honors diploma an opportunity to retake a class where he/she might have received below a C-, thus giving him/her an opportunity to keep his/her Academic Honors diploma.

Students may not use on-line credit recovery classes for retakes

Course Recommendations

In a move to make all course offerings available to our students, we are removing prerequisites from most course offerings at Jasper High School. On its merit, this move is

designed to give any student an opportunity to take the most rigorous course offerings at our school. It is also designed to give students an opportunity to take the courses that best fit

into their future opportunities. The teacher of each course has built course recommendations

for the curriculum required within each course. These recommendations should be taken seriously as the rigor of a course will not be adjusted to fit students who might not be

academically talented enough to handle the rigor of our most challenging content offerings.

It is our belief that the student and his/her parents must have the opportunity to select course offerings that best suit the

student’s individual needs. It will be necessary for patrons to approach the selection of courses for their student with a

realistic mindset.

class and more—with major emphasis being placed on the reading of classic world literature texts. Students in the honors class will write extensively, and all written work must exceed normal expectations in terms of creativity, development, clarity, structure, and mechanical precision. Vocabulary development will concentrate on an extensive study of Greek and Latin derivatives as preparation for the SAT. Students in this class will participate in several projects and engage in a variety of speaking situations. It must be clearly understood that honors students will be held to a higher academic standard overall. Students who cannot work independently, those who do not complete assignments correctly or on time, and those who do not wish to participate fully in the spirit of the class should not enroll. Honor students are defined by their exceptional reading ability and their enjoyment of and competence in writing. Successful students must be mature individuals who are willing to put in the time necessary to do quality work. A summer reading assignment is required for this course. This course is NOT required for the academic honors diploma.

PREPARING FOR COLLEGE AND CAREERS-Digital Citizenship Preparing for College and Careers addresses the knowledge, skills, and behaviors

all students need to be prepared for success in college, career, and life. The focus of the course is the impact of today’s choices on tomorrow’s possibilities. Topics to be addressed include twenty-first century life and career skills; higher order thinking, communication, leadership, and management processes; exploration of personal aptitudes, interests, values, and goals; examining multiple life roles and responsibilities as individuals and family members; planning and building employability skills; transferring school skills to life and work; and managing personal resources. This course includes reviewing the 16 national career clusters and Indiana's College and Career Pathways, in-depth investigation of one or more pathways, reviewing graduation plans, developing career plans, and developing personal and career portfolios. A project based approach, including computer and technology applications, cooperative ventures between school and community, simulations, and real life experiences, is recommended. The Digital Citizenship aspect of this course prepares students to use computer technology in an effective and appropriate manner. Students develop knowledge of word processing, spreadsheets, presentation and communications software. Students establish what it means to be a good digital citizen and how to use technology appropriately. This course is a local graduation requirement.
