AP versus ACP
These are both programs that can equal college credit.
Both are honors classes.
Both are taught in the high school building as part of the high school day by high school teachers. both are considered college level classes.
AP is program through the college board. Students are enrolled in the class. At the end of the class (tests are offered in May), students may take a test &, if they score high enough, can potentially earn college credit or be exempted from entry level classes. This is up to the college your student attends.
ACP is a college course offered through a college. ACP English 12 at HHS is through IU Kokomo. Students may earn 3 college credits per semester. Credits must be paid for at the hugely reduced price of $260 currently. If a student receives free/reduced lunch assistance, these fees may be waived. Mrs Beach, our 11th honors teacher has more information on this. Next year, HHS students will be able to take the US History ACP course - this would run essentially the same way.

scheduling for 2010-2011 almost over
What a very busy month in the guidance office. We have worked to meet individually with each student at HHS over the past month and we held three 8th grade scheduling nights. Your student should have brought information home about their schedule - what they have signed up for, a copy of their transcript, what their future plans are. if a student failed a class, they were directed to work it back into their schedule or consider a retrieval credit program that takes place after school at a cost of $25. These plans were worked out individually with each student.

Scheduling for 2010-2011
Tuesday 2/2/10 during activity period, we will have a broadcast to the entire building about scheduling. This will be a time for us to share information with our student and to review our scheduling worksheets with them. We will review the scheduling process and explain our expectations for the following weeks. we want students to get first hand info if possible from teachers. This will help ensure students are making informed decisions about their classes for next school year.
Guidance will be handing out scheduling worksheets at the meeting Thursday 1/28/10 at AHS from 6-8pm and also in our building the following week.
We encourage teachers to ask for the recommendation sheets between 2/2 and scheduling time. We expect to schedule as follows:
9th graders 2/8 -2/10.
10th graders 2/11-2/16.
11th graders 2/17 - 2/19.
Our 4 counselors will meet with all students individually during these dates. We will tell students what courses are required, we will hand out transcripts and we will encourage students to bring information home to share with parents/guardians.
