Program of Studies &Career Guide1771650914402015-2016Accredited by the Missouri Department of EducationSchool Website: East Elm StreetHarrisonville, MO 64701816-380-3273The mission of Harrisonville High School is to empower student success.Dear Parents and Students:Harrisonville High School offers a wide range of subjects and opportunities for students to satisfy their interests, abilities, and needs. In order to make wise choices that lead to well-balanced programs, students should decide early in their high school years whether they are preparing for advanced study after graduation, a career in the business field, or developing the necessary skills for employment. We encourage parents and students to develop a Personal Plan of Study to guide them toward their post graduation and career goals. It is important to select courses very carefully to fulfill that plan. The career pathway information offers a range of possible careers for each student to consider. Parents can use the career pathway information to discuss career opportunities with their children. .Student course selection is very important. Schedule changes can be very difficult and/or denied; therefore, students and parents should carefully consider course selections to ensure the most appropriate choices for students. Special situations may require you to contact the instructor of a course for more information. The teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to assist students and parents as they make course decisions. Please do not hesitate to ask for this assistance.Sincerely,AdministrationAndy CampbellPrincipalJason FarnsworthAssistant PrincipalMark RorvigAssistant PrincipalH.

The EXPLORE measures critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills. The data can be used by teachers to help improve instruction if weak areas are identified by a significant number of students. By using data from the EXPLORE, early intervention can occur to help students get enrolled in classes which will improve their skills. PLAN TestAll sophomores will take a practice PLAN test on our Extreme Test Day in October. The PLAN measures critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills. The data can be used by teachers to help improve instruction if weak areas are identified by a significant number of students. By using data from the PLAN, early intervention can occur to help students get enrolled in classes which will improve their skills. PSAT TestThe PSAT is an option test for sophomores and juniors. Sophomores can use the test score to qualify for Missouri Scholars Academy. The PSAT is the only qualifying test for juniors competing for National Merit Scholarship Program. We encourage the top 15-20% of the sophomore class to take the test in preparation for the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT measures critical thinking skills, including critical reading, math problem-solving, and writing skills. The individualized score report includes personalized feedback on skills that need attention, along with suggestions for improvement. Students also have free access to a personalized planning kit based on their test results to to be used to help improve skills and research colleges.In addition, the PSAT includes an AP Potential Report which identifies students who can be successful in AP courses based on test scores. Teachers can also use the Summary of Answers and Skills to improve instruction if a significant number of students do not perform well in an area.ASVAB TestAll seniors will take the ASVAB test on our Extreme Test Day in October. The ASVAB is not just a test for those students planning on joining the military. For college-bound students, the ASVAB may well help them decide on a college major/minor. The ASVAB is an aptitude test and has a wonderful career exploration component. Since aptitudes are fairly stable throughout life, identifying those abilities and building upon them is a natural career choice. Students who are still undecided as a junior should be encouraged to take the ASVAB as a career exploration tool.ACT Test - All juniors will take a practice ACT test on our Extreme Test Day in October. They will also take the actual ACT exam in April as required by DESE. To ensure that students master the knowledge and skills to succeed after high school, ACT recommends that students take a core curriculum consisting of at least:Four years of EnglishThree years of mathematics, including rigorous courses in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II Three years of science, including rigorous courses in Biology, Chemistry, and PhysicsThree years of social studiesThe Harrisonville School District offers ACT Prep Review to help students succeed on the ACT.ACT Test Dates for 2015-2016 (All tests offered at Harrisonville High School except as noted)September?12,?2015October?24,?2015December?12,?2015February?6,?2016 - Not being offered at Harrisonville High April?9,?2016June?11,?2016Harrisonville High School Graduation Requirements??CURRICULAR AREASGRADUATION??4 unitsLANGUAGE ARTS(one unit may be combined ?Speech and/or Debate)?3 unitsSOCIAL STUDIES(1 unit must be Am.

The Legislature approved the program to help students qualify for post secondary tuition assistance. The A+ School concept has three goals as named in the OSA. They include that all students will:1)Graduate from high school;2)Complete a selection of challenging high school studies with identified learning expectations3)Proceed to a two- or four-year college, vocational/technical school, or high wage job with work-place skill development opportunities.Students who graduate from an A+ School and have met the specified requirements will be eligible to receive two-year tuition to any public community college, vocational, or technical school in Missouri, provided that state funding sources are available.Who can qualify?To be eligible for the financial incentives of the A+ School Program, a student must be certified as an A+ student by their high school.

Even after a student completes the requirements for the A+ Program, he/she may choose to enter the military, or go straight to a 4-year college, or even take a year off before taking advantage of the benefits of the A+ Program. The A+ Program will allow a student to attend a 2-year college and earn an associate’s degree, which will transfer to a 4-year college.To Enroll: Complete the Statement of Intent on the following page of this guide and turn in to the A+ Office.Statement of IntentA+ Certification RequestBuilding Character, Creating OpportunityI, ________________________________________________, have been fully informed of the conditions for eligibility for the A+ Student Financial Incentives in accordance with the A+ Schools Program at Harrisonville High School.

Participation in the Harrisonville High Credit Recovery Program is a privilege. Pre-arrangement must be made with each student’s counselor before enrolling. Class is held at the high school, and it utilizes an online, self-paced curriculum.How long will it take to recover a credit?Students can complete the equivalent of a semester of the prescribed course during the credit recovery term (1/2 credit). It takes about 20 – 30 hours of credit recovery to complete all the assignments for one course. Although enrollment is open throughout the school year, all course work must be completed within a semester cycle and summer school may be required for any credits that are not recovered during the school year. Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MoVIP) – MoVIP is the state virtual school for Missouri and is a tuition program offering classes to public, private and home school students. Students take MoVIP classes for many reasons. Missouri students can now access advanced classes or foreign language classes on MoVIP that are not currently offered by their local school district. Some students take MoVIP classes to graduate early or to solve class scheduling problems; other students take advantage of the “foundation classes” offered for credit recovery. A number of Missouri students are not able to attend their traditional schools for medical reasons, or they are involved in special activities or are presently outside of the state. Online education offers students flexibility in a variety of ways. MoVIP classes are self-paced so students can move through the classes at a faster or slower pace if necessary. MoVIP offers various start dates. MoVIP offers 172 different courses including seven different foreign languages and 19 Advanced Placement classes.Correspondence CoursesThe Cass R-IX School District recognizes units of credit obtained through accredited schools, including credits earned through correspondence courses or courses delivered primarily through electronic media, such as satellite video, cable video or computer-driven or online courses. For the purposes of this policy, an "accredited school" is the Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MoVIP); a private agency where students with disabilities are placed by a public school; or any school accredited by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) or the North Central Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI). Except for courses earned through MoVIP, a student may apply a maximum of two (2) credits from correspondence courses to meet graduation requirements.Advanced Placement ProgramThe Advanced Placement Program (AP?) is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges and universities. It gives high school students exposure to college level material through involvement in an AP course, and then gives them an opportunity to show what they have learned by taking an AP Exam in May. All students enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the AP exam in May in the subject area. The fee for the exam is around $91. Financial assistance is available to qualified students. The national exam scores are on a 5-point scale. Students receiving a score of a 3, 4, or 5 on this exam may be granted credit and/or advanced placement in college. Harrisonville High School offers several AP courses for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Up-to-date information concerning university recognition policies can be found at ap. AP courses are a major commitment requiring nightly study and preparation. Students are required to do considerable work in and out of class to demonstrate the skills expected of first year students in a strong college program. Many AP courses also have a summer work expectation to be completed prior to taking the class in the fall. The following courses are AP courses offered at Harrisonville High School:AP English Language & CompositionAP BiologyAP Government & Politics: USAP English Literature & CompositionAP ChemistryAP United States HistoryAP Calculus (AB)AP Physics IAP World HistoryAP StatisticsAP French Language & Culture*AP courses and college credit courses are calculated as weighted credit in the student’s GPA. Articulated CreditCertain classes at the Cass Career Center will earn college credit through community colleges. Articulated credit is earned by successfully completing a career, technical, or occupational course with an 80% or higher. Enrollment for articulated credit must be made while the student is enrolled in the high school equivalent course. The college credit will appear on a college transcript once a student graduates high school and earns 15 hours of college credit through the post-secondary institution. There is no cost to the student for articulated credit.The following courses are available for articulated credit:Landscape Design & Turf Managment + Advanced Plant ScienceMarketing IAutomotive Maintenance & Light Repair (2 yrs)Emergency Medical Technician-Basic Firefighter I & II Health Sciences WeldingConstruction Technology Interior & Exterior (2 yrs)College Credit CoursesThe Cass R-9 School District does not set the criteria for students to be eligible for dual credit. Dual credit students must meet or exceed eligibility requirements established by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE). The website for CBHE is dhe.cbhe.shtml. Eligibility is defined as:Minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higherSatisfactory scores on subject matter tests and/or ACTRecommendation of the high school principal or counselorThe following courses are available for college credit:College MathematicsCollege Child Development College Spanish IVCollege ChemistryCollege PsychologyCollege Spanish VAP Chemistry has a Dual Credit Option alsoPLTW Engineering Courses (IED, POE, DE, EDD)Some Upper Level CCC Courses (see CCC pages later in book)*AP courses and college credit courses are calculated as weighted credit in the student’s GPA.National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) InformationNational Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Information9525118110001504950154940 NAIA EligibilityThe NAIA Eligibility Center will determine your eligibility based on your academic record and additional information you provide.?

All paths include a variety of occupations that require different levels of education and training. Thus, career paths provide a plan for all students, whatever their interests, abilities, talents, or desired levels of education. Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of FOCUS, along with FLEXIBILITY and a VARIETY of ideas to pursue. The focus of career paths is on helping students choose a career path, not a specific occupation. Selecting a career path is not a lifelong commitment; it is a place to begin focusing one’s energies. As students take different courses and learn more about themselves and careers, they will probably change career paths. Students who understand the career paths concept will be aware that there are a variety of other related possibilities if the first path no longer fits them. If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans as necessary. Benefits of Identifying A Career PathDeciding on a career path can assist you in exploring your interests and preparing for your future. The intent is not for you to decide on a specific occupation for the rest of your life, but to select a career path into which you can begin directing your energies. Identifying a career path can help you in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment. It can also help guide your participation in job shadowing, career exploration and internships. A career path choice is not a permanent commitment. As you have new experiences, you learn new things about yourself and may decide to change career paths. If you decide on a different career path to explore, you should discuss it with your counselor and adjust your future course selections in accordance with your new career exploration.Career Exploration AssessmentsHarrisonville High School students complete career exploration assessments starting in the 8th grade. This is a way the student can identify an initial career path choice. Counselors and advisors will then use this information to assist students in making course selections and developing a plan of study. Choosing A Career Path Or Cluster1. Identify your interests, abilities, and talents.2. Identify the career path or cluster that relates to your interests, abilities, and talents.3. Explore occupations in those career paths or clusters.4. Decide how much education you want to receive after high school. 5. Develop a Personal Plan of Study by selecting courses and co-curricular activities that relate to your educational and career goals.Career Planning Common LanguageIndividual Planning VocabularyGuidance and Counseling Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary EducationAugust 2011Definition and Purpose: Guidance Grade Level Expectations (GLEs): The systematic, sequential and developmentally appropriate set of knowledge, skill and understanding for the K-12 guidance curriculum.
