GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULE<br />
Planning your schedule for high school requires yearly self-appraisal. You must examine your interests and goals. Study<br />
the various curricular offerings and the prerequisites needed to undertake the next desired step in the educational process.<br />
Our curriculum is flexible in that a student may elect subjects from various departments. There should be a basic plan<br />
of related subjects that will provide a foundation for your projected post-high school goals.<br />
Read the enclosed material carefully and thoughtfully. Your counselor, teachers, and parents will aid you in any<br />
way possible. To prepare for admission to any one of Ohio’s public or private four-year colleges or universities, it is<br />
recommended that students meet the following minimum College Preparatory program:<br />
English<br />
4 credits<br />
Mathematics 3 credits<br />
Social Studies 3 credits<br />
Science<br />
3 credits (2 Lab Sciences)<br />
Foreign Language 2 credits*<br />
The Arts 1 credit**<br />
*Various colleges recommend additional foreign language preparation. Check with your guidance counselor and colleges/<br />
universities of your choice for additional information.<br />
**Examples are: Acting, Art, Humanities, Instrumental Music, Music Appreciation, Music Theory, Photography, Theatre,<br />
and Vocal Music. Some colleges in order to meet this recommendation may accept Public Speaking, Debate, and Interior<br />
Design.<br />
Students who are hoping to complete a high school program, which will prepare them for the world of work upon<br />
graduation, should study the descriptions of the courses offered in the Business and Vocational Departments. Those whose<br />
plans are undecided are urged to study all offerings of the high school, to discuss alternatives with parents, teachers,<br />
friends and other interested persons, and to seek assistance from the school counselors.<br />
The requirements for admission to more selective colleges include more academic credits in each course of study than<br />
the minimum suggested. To be certain of the requirements of selective schools, contact your guidance counselor or the<br />
college or university. Many professional programs require more high school preparation in related areas. For example, to<br />
qualify for admission to an engineering program, it is advisable to have four years of college preparatory math, chemistry<br />
and physics. Talk with your counselor to be sure of other such programs.<br />
GUIDANCE COUNSELING SERVICES<br />
Guidance counseling services are an integral part of the <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> schools. Efforts are made by the<br />
staff to assist students in recognizing interests, capabilities, and achievements, and to make available pertinent information<br />
that will be of value in selecting courses.<br />
The counselors periodically review each student’s course selections, and, coupled with the recommendations of the staff,<br />
assist each student to meet graduation requirements and to formulate realistic goals.<br />
Parent cooperation and participation is a vital part of the counseling program. Counselors invite and welcome parents<br />
throughout the year for conferences and especially during the registration period each year. The parent may make<br />
appointments with the student’s counselor any school day during normal school hours (7:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). If an<br />
appointment is desired, call the Counseling Office secretary at 740-4720 or 740-4721.<br />
3
COURSE CHANGES<br />
Planning a schedule for the next school year is a difficult task and situations may occur requiring a change in that<br />
schedule. These schedule changes, however, have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall<br />
master-schedule, and therefore, must be made sparingly. The student and parent are urged not to plan a program with the<br />
idea that it can be changed. Once a student selects his/her courses (verified by parents) the Guidance Department will<br />
not initiate a schedule change unless a compelling educational reason exists.<br />
After the close of the school year no changes will occur unless:<br />
1. there is a technical error in the scheduling process<br />
2. it is clear that the student is academically misplaced<br />
3. there is a scheduling conflict<br />
GUIDEPOSTS TOWARD GRADUATION<br />
GRADE PLACEMENT<br />
Students will be classified by grades according to the number of credits they have accumulated. The minimum credits<br />
for grade classification will be as follows:<br />
GRADE CLASSIFICATION<br />
10th grade 5 credits<br />
11th grade 10 credits<br />
12th grade 15 credits<br />
COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS<br />
A student should be aware of his/her personal progress each year, so graduation can be attained. In order to make<br />
satisfactory progress toward receiving a diploma each student must be enrolled in a minimum of 5.25 credits per year.<br />
An average class load is between 5.50 and 6 credits per year. Students must schedule enough course credits to assure<br />
no more than one (1) study hall per day (excluding lab science study halls). Algebra I taken at the middle school<br />
will count toward the 3 credits of math required for graduation. Students may receive one elective credit for a full year<br />
of the first year of a foreign language taken at the middle school. Credits taken at the middle school are not part of the<br />
cumulative grade point average for high school.<br />
REQUIRED SUBJECTS<br />
Required subjects must be taken during the school year at <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School. Students who<br />
fail a required course during the school year should arrange to repeat the course in summer school or night school.<br />

PREREQUISITES<br />
In order to enroll in any course, a student must meet the requirements (prerequisites) for admission to that course.<br />
These are included in the description for the course.<br />
ACADEMIC OPTIONS<br />
POST-SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTIONS PROGRAM<br />
All students may elect to participate in this program. Two options are available: OPTION A permits eligible students<br />
to enroll in college courses for college credit only: parent assumes the cost; OPTION B permits eligible students to<br />
enroll in college courses for college AND high school credit: the district assumes the cost. A student who selects the<br />
Post-secondary Enrollment OPTION B will have his/her college grade(s) placed on the high school transcript. Any<br />
student interested in this program should contact his/her guidance counselor before March 15, 2008, for application<br />
information. The deadline for enrollment in this program is March 30, 2008.<br />
ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES<br />
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are part of a program of college-level courses and exams that give high school<br />
students the opportunity to receive credit and/or advanced placement in college. Students enrolling in AP courses<br />
should expect to develop analytical reasoning skills and study the subject matter in great depth. Approval for enrolling<br />
will be based on student ability, past performance, counselor and/or teacher recommendation, and prerequisite courses.<br />
Because of the difficulty of these courses and the time demands involved, grades of “A”, “B”, or “C”, on a student’s<br />
report cards will receive an extra weight in the computation of the grade point average. Students are encouraged to<br />
take the AP exam in the spring. The test costs approximately $85. Based on the score of the exam, college credit<br />
may be earned. (“A” = 5 points, “B” = 4 points, “C” = 3 points, “D” = 1 point, and “F” = 0 point).<br />
5
CAREER CENTER ENROLLMENT<br />
The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center program is an extension of <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School. Students<br />
who wish to enroll in a two-year program at the career center must submit their applications during February of their<br />
sophomore year. These applications will then be reviewed by the Guidance Department and the placement of students in<br />
the various programs will be determined. Students accepted into a career center program continue to attend <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<br />
<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School for their academic courses. (Exception: Cosmetology and Culinary can be full-day<br />
CVCC programs.)<br />
Students must attend the career center when it is in session even though <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School<br />
is not. <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School must be attended when it is in session even though CVCC is not in<br />
session.<br />
Most of the career and technical programs are two years in length. Students may enter for one year, but prefer students to continue<br />
toward completing the entire two year program. A complete listing of career and technical course offerings can be found in this<br />
<strong>Options</strong> <strong>Book</strong>.<br />
Sophomores and/or juniors who are interested will find complete course descriptions pertaining to the programs offered<br />
at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center in the Orientation Handbook provided by the career center as well as this <strong>Options</strong><br />
<strong>Book</strong>. A brief description of each of the programs may be found throughout this booklet along with the sample career<br />
pathways for each program. If there are additional questions, see your guidance counselor.<br />
SUMMER SCHOOL<br />
A student may earn no more than two remedial credits per year in summer school. “A maximum student load shall be<br />
no more than one new unit per summer, with a maximum of four such units counting toward graduation,” in compliance<br />
with the State of Ohio minimum standards. The Principal of <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School or his designee<br />
must approve enrollment in any summer school program. Students interested in the PE Academy or other <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<br />
<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School summer school courses should see a guidance counselor for a form.<br />
EVENING SCHOOL<br />
No pupil enrolled full-time in <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School shall be permitted to earn credit in evening<br />
high school classes except under prior written permission, granted by the Principal or his designee.<br />
ONLINE INSTRUCTION<br />
One potential option for students to earn credit for core coursework that they have failed is through select on-line credit<br />
recovery programs. Courses are available at student/parent’s expense. See your counselor for further details.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND COMMENCEMENT<br />
The State of Ohio and the <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> Board of Education have prescribed minimum requirements for<br />
a diploma. Students not meeting the minimum course requirements will NOT be permitted to participate in commencement<br />
exercises.<br />
EARLY GRADUATION<br />
Students who desire to graduate from <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School in three or three and one-half years<br />
must submit a letter of intent from their parents. Application forms are available in the Guidance Office. This letter<br />
of intent must be submitted during the sophomore year. The counselors will work closely with students and parents<br />
to develop a program, which is in compliance with the standards for graduation set forth by the State of Ohio and the<br />
<strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> Board of Education.<br />

CAREER PASSPORT<br />
During the freshman year, the process of preparing a Career Passport begins. This is a valuable collection of documents<br />
that provides employers and admission officers with information that each student assembles throughout high school.<br />
When students present the Career Passport during an employment, scholarship or college interview, they are providing<br />
college admissions officers or potential employers with a solid representation of their interests, abilities, and skills.<br />
During the freshman year the students take the PSAT and initiate their high school ICP (Individualized Career Plan). In<br />
the sophomore year, they update the ICP, compose a career narrative, take the PLAN (pre-ACT) and complete a skill<br />
inventory. During the junior year, students develop a resume and reference list, update the ICP and take the PSAT (pre-<br />
SAT and the National Merit Scholastic Qualifying Test). Many students will take the ACT and/or the SAT tests in the<br />
junior and senior years. During the senior year the student updates all documents and develops an employability skills<br />
paragraph. One of the culminating experiences in this process is the Senior Interview.<br />
SENIOR INTERVIEWS<br />
Each 12 th grader is required to complete a senior interview for graduation. The related packet contains a petition for<br />
graduation, a transcript release form, an honors diploma verification, a sample activity record, and a legal name form.<br />
Once a senior has the forms filled out and signed, he/she must make an appointment with a counselor to review the<br />
packet. This must be completed by October 1st.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE OF OHIO HONORS DIPLOMA<br />
A student who wishes to earn an Honors Diploma must be enrolled in a college preparatory curriculum at the high school and meet<br />

10. Obtain a composite score of 27 on the ACT; or an overall score on the SAT of 1210.<br />
7
CUMULATIVE COURSES<br />
Cumulative courses may be passed for the year even if the first semester is failed provided the second semester’s work<br />
is passed with a sufficiently high grade to average passing for the year. CUMULATIVE COURSES CANNOT BE<br />
PASSED FOR THE YEAR IF THE SECOND SEMESTER IS FAILED.<br />
NON-CUMULATIVE COURSES<br />
The following YEAR courses, if failed for a semester, must have the SAME SEMESTER’S WORK made up in order<br />
for credit to be earned for that semester. These courses are:<br />
English 1, 2, 3, 4<br />
World History<br />
American History<br />
REPORT CARDS<br />
The school year consists of two semesters. Each semester is divided into two nine-week grading periods for reporting pupil<br />
progress to parents. Interim reports will be issued to students midway through each of the nine week grading periods, if<br />
the teacher deems it necessary based on the student’s performance in class. All freshmen will be issued interim reports<br />
during the first and second grading periods.<br />
CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE<br />
The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is based on a 4.00 scale on SEMESTER GRADES ONLY. Subjects not<br />
considered in the GPA are: all assistant programs, Physical Education elective courses, and Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory<br />
courses. Merit Roll equals a 3.00-3.74 GPA and Honor Roll equals a 3.75 or above GPA. A grade of D, U or WF precludes<br />
a student’s being included on merit and honor roll.<br />
COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY<br />
Course Change Forms are available in the Guidance Office and, although used sparingly, may result in a withdrawal<br />
from a course if approved. Student, teacher, counselor and parent sections must be completed for a course withdrawal<br />
to be considered. Schedule changes for reasons other than technical errors, conflicts, inappropriate placement, or other<br />
legitimate educational reasons will not be considered.<br />
In order for a subject to be removed completely from the transcript, a student must withdraw within a time limit prescribed<br />
as follows:<br />
Semester courses sixth through sixteenth day<br />
Year courses<br />
sixth through thirty-sixth day<br />
If a student withdraws from a subject after the prescribed time limit, a “WF” (Withdraw-Failing) will appear on the report<br />
card and transcript regardless of the grade earned at the time of withdrawal. The “WF” grade will continue to be a part<br />
of the student’s grade point average.<br />
SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY OPTION<br />
The “S/U” option is the opportunity given to a junior or senior to select 1 unit of credit or less in non-required subjects<br />
for credit each year in which the grade will be either “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory”. In addition, any student in grades<br />
10-12 may take an additional s/u option for a music course, excluding music theory and music appreciation.“Satisfactory”<br />
(S) will require a “C” or higher for credit; this translates into an average of at least 73%. An average below 73% will<br />
result in an “Unsatisfactory” (U). This option is not available for honors or advanced placement courses.<br />
8
“Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory” credit will be included in the total credits being taken by the student, but will not be<br />
figured into the grade point average or class rank. Therefore, the “S/U” option does not figure into the GPA to determine<br />
a student’s eligibility; however it will count toward the 5-credit course requirement that also determines eligibility.<br />
The student’s declaration for “S/U” must be made prior to the end of September for the first semester or year-long<br />
courses and the applications must be approved by the student’s counselor and Assistant Principal. During the second<br />
semester, students have the first ten school days to select this option. Applications are available in the Guidance office.<br />
ATHLETIC AND INTERSCHOLASTIC EXTRACURRICULAR ELIGIBILITY<br />
Students are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of 1.25 in order to be eligible to participate in any<br />
interscholastic extracurricular activity (grades 7-12) within the <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> <strong>City</strong> School District.<br />
The grade point average of each grading period (quarter grades) will be used to determine eligibility. The eligibility of a<br />
student will continue until the start of the fifth school day of the next grading period, at which time the grades from the<br />
immediately preceding grading period become effective. EXCEPTION: Eligibility or ineligibility for the first grading<br />
period commences with the start of the fall sports season. This policy is currently under review and any updates will be<br />
included in the student handbook.<br />
Summer school grades earned may not be used to recalculate a student’s GPA from the last grading period of the regular<br />
school year.<br />
Additionally, eligibility requirements for participating in athletic programs must conform to the policies, rules/<br />
regulations, and limitations outlined by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Specifically, during the preceding<br />
grading period, the student must have received passing grades in a minimum of FIVE one-credit courses or the<br />
equivalent, which count toward graduation. Please keep in mind that Physical Education courses are .25 credit<br />
for a semester which does not fulfill the requirement.<br />
Because NCAA eligibility requirements are subject to change, it is imperative that students interested in collegiate<br />
athletics (especially seniors and/or their parents) consult with their respective guidance counselor about the NCAA<br />
application process.<br />
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY<br />
Students who enroll in the basic or general level courses shall not be eligible for membership in the National Honor<br />
Society. Students must have a 3.40 overall grade point average to be considered for National Honor Society. The following<br />
courses are considered general level courses for NHS eligibility purposes: Reading, General Science Foundations,<br />
General Biology, Algebra 1A and Algebra 1B.<br />
OHIO GRADUATION TESTS<br />
The Ohio legislature has established a statewide high school proficiency-testing program for all high school students.<br />
Tests are administered in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, citizenship and science to verify student achievement<br />
at the designated levels. Sophomores will take the test for the first time in the spring of 10th grade.<br />
All students are required to pass the five parts of the Ohio Graduation Test. The test measures proficiency in five content<br />
areas: reading, writing, mathematics, citizenship, and science. The graduation exams have been designed to measure<br />
knowledge and skills that students are expected to learn by the end of tenth grade.<br />
Any student graduating after September 15, 2006, from either a public or a chartered nonpublic Ohio high school must<br />
pass all required graduation exams and meet minimum graduation requirements, as established by the State and local<br />
Board of Education, in order to receive a diploma.<br />

SENIOR INTERNSHIP OPTION<br />
Senior Internship Option is an opportunity for students to participate in an independent study project during the last<br />
three weeks of senior year. Seniors can pursue practical educational experiences of interest to them. The work must be<br />
voluntary and there may be no monetary or other compensation. The time required for the project must meet or exceed<br />
thirty hours per week. Other requirements include:<br />

practical way-it should be related to the student’s career path.<br />
2. The student must arrange for a community advisor to sponsor a daily work experience during the project period of<br />
three weeks. It is recommended that an immediate relative not be chosen as community sponsors; the student must<br />
see their assistant principal or the principal to discuss the additional requirements for such cases.<br />
3. The student must arrange for a school (faculty) advisor to provide guidance, feedback, and assure student accountability<br />
regarding fulfillment of the project guideline requirements.<br />
4. The student must meet the minimum requirements listed below.<br />

CUYAHOGA VALLEY CAREER CENTER<br />
The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is an extension of <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School and<br />
offers students a variety of career and technical education programs during their junior and senior years. These<br />
programs are designed to provide the student with marketable technical skills and preparation for a career or<br />
further education making use of those skills. Upon graduation from high school, students are ready for immediate<br />
employment or for continued training in their chosen field in an apprenticeship, at a technical institute<br />
or at a two or four-year college. Entry to CVCC programs is by application through the guidance office.<br />
Some programs at CVCC are designated “Tech Prep” and are specifically designed to provide students with<br />
a college option if they desire. The curriculum in a Tech Prep program has been aligned with the curriculum<br />
at the college level in the same or a closely related field. By completing a Tech Prep program at CVCC along<br />
with a strong academic program at the home school, students can earn college credits for their work at CVCC<br />
and qualify for special college scholarships. In some programs, dual enrollment options are available. Collegebound<br />
students need to plan their four-year high school schedules carefully, so that they meet college entrance<br />
requirements and still have room in their schedule for a CVCC program. Tech Prep programs are identified<br />
in the following program listings by the • symbol.<br />
Career Center programs are two years in length and generally yield 3.5 units of elective credit per year, although<br />
some programs carry a mix of academic and elective credits. (Credits are listed with each program description.)<br />
In most programs, students attend for half of each school day, taking technical courses at the Career Center and<br />
taking regular academic courses at <strong>Brecksville</strong>-<strong>Broadview</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> High School. Exceptions are noted in the<br />
course descriptions. The high school provides bus transportation to and from the Career Center.<br />
To qualify for enrollment in programs at the Career Center, students must have completed two years of high<br />
school by the year in which they begin a program there. For students not having enough credits for junior standing<br />
the guidance office must submit a written plan for completing graduation requirements and secure approval<br />
of the CVCC administration. Students on IEPs may be admitted only if the appropriate CVCC representative<br />
has been invited to the IEP/transition meeting in which the placement decision will be made. Several CVCC<br />
programs of study have unique admission requirements involving pre-requisite courses, grade point averages,<br />
interviews, etc. See the individual program descriptions for details.<br />
In order to project a professional appearance, prepare students for workplace requirements and foster a sense of<br />
program identity and pride, all CVCC students are required to purchase and wear the prescribed professional<br />
wear for their particular program. The required attire varies from program to program and was designed with<br />
student input, but all garments carry the CVCC logo and the individual program name. The professional attire<br />
is required at all times during the CVCC school day.<br />

English 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required of all students for graduation. In order to provide for the varied abilities<br />
and needs of students, the English program is divided into two levels - Honors and Academic. The student is<br />
not rigidly tracked, but may be changed into classes at another level should the teacher and counselor recommend<br />
this. In all grades and levels of English, students will study composition, grammar, and literature;<br />
however, there is more emphasis on grammar in ninth and tenth grade and more emphasis on literature in<br />
eleventh and twelfth. Students will write increasingly longer and more complex compositions as they move<br />
from ninth to twelfth grade. A portion of the grade in English class is dependent on class participation.<br />
Some courses may require additional reading materials to be purchased by the student.<br />

Computer aided design is a key skill in the transmission<br />
of the ideas of engineers and architects into<br />
practical drawings needed to manufacture or build<br />
products. In the first year students learn the computer<br />
applications necessary to produce technical drawings<br />
of machine parts, architecture, and various products,<br />
including three-dimensional color renditions. In the<br />
second year the emphasis is on applying these skills in<br />
design projects, using Autocad, VIZ, Inventor, Revit<br />
and Archnitectural Desktop design software to design<br />
buildings, cars, tools and industrial products. Students<br />
will also receive an introduction to MasterCam, a<br />
computer-aided machining application. This course<br />
helps prepare students for college studies in architecture,<br />
landscape design, product and industrial design,<br />
interior design and various engineering fields.<br />

Machining is the process of shaping metal, plastics and<br />
other materials into precision parts for use in a variety<br />
of industries. Students learn to use MasterCam to<br />
design machined parts and both manual and computer<br />
numerical control (CNC) machines to manufacture<br />
them. Design, programming, welding and hands-on<br />
manufacturing are a major focus as students learn to<br />
use mills, lathes, surface grinders, plasma cutters,<br />
CNC machining and turning centers. Projects are<br />
enhanced through 3-D solid graphics, as students are<br />
able to simulate projects prior to manufacture. This<br />
course prepares graduates for post-secondary technical<br />
colleges, apprenticeships or intermediate level positions<br />
in the machining and manufacturing industry.<br />
Students will have the opportunity to qualify for Level<br />
I MasterCam certification.<br />

This is a two-year marketing education program<br />
designed to provide students with disabilities with<br />
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for a<br />
successful transition to a service occupation. During<br />
