IV. SPECIAL PROGRAMS

A. College Prep

The academic curriculum is designed for students who intend to enroll in a higher
education program after high school graduation. Students need to consider carefully the
particular type of program that they wish to pursue and the institutions that they wish to
attend. Students interested in art, business, or technology education can prepare for college
by taking certain Career Pathway subjects. It is the responsibility of students planning to
enter college to complete a program of studies that will qualify them for admission. Program
planning should be made in consultation with parents, teachers, and counselors. For a student
planning to enter a four (4) year college/university, 25-27 credits are recommended. In
addition to the required four (4) English and three (3) social studies courses. It is
recommended the student earn a minimum of four (4) credits in academic mathematics,
three (3) credits in academic lab science, and at least two (2) credits in the same foreign
language.
