A student must also earn one (1) unit or two (2) ½ unit= s in business/technology, fine arts, or foreign language.

Credit for classes will be assigned by semester.  Students who fail a semester of a required course will have to repeat the semester failed.  If one (1) semester of a year long course is failed, only ½ of the full course credit will be awarded.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>  No credit will be issued for a fai= led semester long course.  A senio= r who has failed a required course must make up the course (or the portion failed) before he/she will be deemed eligible to receive a diploma (provided all ot= her graduation requirements have been met).

 

ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIR= ED TO CARRY A MINIMUM OF SIX CLASS PERIODS EACH NINE WEEKS.<= /b>

 

Hopewell-Loudon Local Schools Guidelines state that student class placement will be determi= ned in the following manner:

&n= bsp;

 

 

Ohio Graduation Test (OGT)

 

The purposes of the OGT are to ensure that students who receiv= e a high school diploma demonstrate at least high school levels of achievement, to measure the level of reading, writing, mathematics, science and social stud= ies skills expected of students at the end of the 10th grade, and to meet federal requirement for high school testing.

 

Students take the OGT for the first time in the spring of their sophomore year.  For students = who do not pass one or more tests on their first attempt multiple opportunities du= ring their junior and senior years will be available.  Students can continue to take the = tests in the fall and spring of their junior and senior year and during the summe= r.

 

Students may graduate and receive a diploma without passing all five tests of the OGT if they meet the following requirements:

·          Pass four of the five tests and have missed passing the fifth test by no more than 10 points;

·          Have had a 97 percent attendance rate through all four years of high school and must not have had an expulsion in high school;

·          Have a grade point average of 2.5 out of 4.0= in the subject are missed and have completed the curriculum requirement in the subject are missed;

·          Have participated in any intervention progra= ms offered by the school and must have had a 97 percent attendance rate in any program offered outside the normal school day;

·          Obtain letters of recommendation from each teacher in the subject area not yet passed.

 

 

 

COURSES OF STUDY

 

Hopewell-Loudon offers two courses of study:  a College Preparatory curriculum and a Vocational Education curriculum. 

 

Coll= ege Preparatory Curriculum

 

The college preparatory curriculum provides the essentials background to meet t= he entrance requirements for colleges. This course of study is definite in its requirements for graduation and is planned primarily for those students who have decided to further their education at the college level.

 

Students who plan to attend college sho= uld have the following units of credits in the CORE subjects listed:

     =        English        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;     4 credits

     =        Science        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;    3 to 4 credits

     =        Mathematics        &= nbsp;         3 to 4 credits

     =        Foreign Language      &nbs= p;   2 to 4 credits

     =        Social Studies              =    2 to 3 credits

     =        Arts        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;         1 credit

 

IT MUST NOT BE ASSUMED THAT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION ALONE WILL ADMIT A STUDENT TO COLLEGE. All colleges require a transcript listing final grades, class rank, and gra= de point average (GPA), as well as, results from the ACT and/or SAT test and O= hio Graduation (OGT) tests. Students anticipating college entrance should discu= ss the specific requirements of that college with the guidance counselor in or= der to make the best subject choice.

Since many community and technical colleges do not now require= a specific subject pattern, some students who do not follow the college preparatory curriculum may find it possible to meet the entrance requiremen= ts for a number of community and technical colleges. Careful judgment should be used in the selection of electives toward this end, especially with math and science classes.

 
Alternative Post-Secondary Enrollment Option

 

Hopewell-Loudon will once again offer UF-USA courses.  These are courses students will ta= ke for both Hopewell-Loudon credit and University of Findlay credit.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>  They will be taught here at H-L by= our teachers who are adjunct professors for the University.  Cost of these classes will be divi= ded equally between H-L and the student/parent-guardian.  The student will receive a billing from the University.  This bill needs to be submitted to= the Guidance Office.  If a student= is unable to pay for a course, see the Guidance Office for information on financial assistance.  We will= be following University of Findlay’s procedures regarding dropping one of these courses.  Deadline to drop for financial reimbursement is September 15, 2007.  If deemed necessary to drop a course after the deadline or a failing grade is received the student/parent-guardian is responsible for the entire fee of the course. Courses offered include:

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options

 

Student= s in grades nine through twelve may still enroll in the Post-Secon= dary Enrollment Options Program for the purpose of taking college courses at eligible post-secondary institutions.  = Our Distance Learning Lab also enables students to enroll in classes offered through various colleges and universities.=   Students must meet the enrollment or eligibility requirements for ea= ch institution.  Option “A&= #8221; allows students to receive college credit only.  Option “B” allows stud= ents to receive high school and college credit.  Under Option “B”, the = entire cost of tuition, books, materials and fees are paid for by Hopewell-Loudon.  Yearly sched= ules may vary between Hopewell-Loudon and the post-secondary institution; it may= be difficult or impossible to take the courses desired at both schools because= of scheduling conflicts.  An indi= vidual student’s class schedule must be arranged to accommodate both Hopewell-Loudon courses and post-secondary courses in order to ensure no conflicts arise.  Any student wishing to substitute a required course must submit a syllabus of the course and have approval from the administration and guidance counselor.

 

Vocational Educa= tion Curriculum

 

Students at Sentinel Career Center attend classes for a half-day for technical skill training and the other half-day at Hopewell-Loud= on High School for aca= demic training.  Sentinel students a= lso participate in Hopewell-Loudon’s athletic and club programs.  Upon successful completion of clas= ses at Sentinel, students will receive three (3) credits per year for these classe= s.

 

All students who wish to enr= oll at the Sentinel Career Center must complete the following Hopewell-Loudon requirements:=

     =        English 9       =             &nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp; PPESS (9th grade science)

  =           1 Elective Credit

A requirement of 10 credits = is necessary for application to the Sentinel program. 

 

Freshman students intending to enroll in the cosmetology program mu= st meet equivalent class credit as stated above.

 

Students interested in the programs offered can obtain applications through the high school guidance office, either during their sophomore year= or their freshman year for those interested in cosmetology.
