High School <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> Study<br />
Planning Guide<br />
2016-2017<br />
Dear High School Student:<br />
Welcome to that exciting time <strong>of</strong> the year when you choose the<br />
courses you will take during the upcoming school year!<br />
The guiding mission <strong>of</strong> the North Carolina State Board <strong>of</strong> education is that every public school student<br />
will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and post-secondary education and<br />
prepared for life in the 21 st century.<br />
The Randolph County School System’s high school program provides students many options based<br />
on their career goals, needs and individual interests. Students may choose from a wide array <strong>of</strong><br />
courses and programs. Choices students make in high school affect the options they have for future<br />
education and job opportunities after high school. The Randolph County School System operates<br />
under a Student/Parent Informed Choice System or ―Open Registration‖. Parents/guardians and<br />
students should carefully study this high school planning guide and review the course listings and<br />
graduation requirements. Parents/guardians and their children should discuss the student’s goals,<br />
interest, past school grades, performance on standardized tests, personal habits, attitude toward<br />
school, aptitudes, responsibilities outside the school, and other factors that may have an impact on<br />
the success <strong>of</strong> a student in a given course.<br />
Students are encouraged to register in courses providing the highest academic challenge to their<br />
abilities. It is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the parents, teachers, and the school counselors to <strong>of</strong>fer positive<br />
guidance and direction in a helping a student establish goals and make realistic choices. These<br />
goals and choices must commensurate with the student’s ability, interest, and background<br />
requirements for graduation and the requirements for admission to post-secondary opportunities.<br />
Recognizing the importance <strong>of</strong> high school to future success, the student and parent/guardian should<br />
develop a four-year course <strong>of</strong> study.
Please keep in mind that all <strong>of</strong> the courses <strong>of</strong>fered in our district cannot possibly be in the final master<br />
schedule for each school. Courses will be scheduled if a sufficient number <strong>of</strong> students request a<br />
course. Some courses may only be <strong>of</strong>fered in alternate years. Therefore, it is important for students to<br />
outline a four- year plan.<br />
Students may select courses from arts education, career and technical education, computer<br />
education, English language arts, English as a Second Language, healthful living, mathematics,<br />
media, JROTC, science, second languages and social studies. There are also additional course<br />
opportunities available via North Carolina Virtual Public School online courses and through a<br />
partnership with the N.C. Community College System. Membership and participation in numerous<br />
clubs, organizations, and teams are also available.<br />
Each student and parent should become familiar with the courses and the importance <strong>of</strong> each course<br />
to the student’s course <strong>of</strong> study. Each student is required to choose eight (8) courses and alternative<br />
courses. Students should sign up only for the courses they want to take. At the time <strong>of</strong> registration, it<br />
is not known what period courses will be taught or what teacher will be teaching the courses. It is the<br />
responsibility <strong>of</strong> all students and their parents/ guardians to make sure students are registered for the<br />
courses they need in order to meet graduation and college/university admission requirements. Your<br />
guidance counselors are also ready to assist you with this process.

advantage <strong>of</strong> every opportunity to determine what you need to achieve your immediate and lifetime goals.<br />
Randolph County School System 1 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
Parents are encouraged to help students in planning their course selections throughout their high school<br />
careers. This process begins prior to students entering high school. Careful planning, as early as the 8 th grade,<br />
will ensure that students have completed the necessary requirements needed for specialized programs.<br />
Parents may make an appointment to discuss their child’s program by calling the guidance <strong>of</strong>fice at the high<br />
school he/she attends.<br />
Students who have personal goals in mind such as college entrance or technical training (nurses, technicians,<br />
dental hygienists, etc.), which require education beyond high school, should determine the general<br />
requirements for entrance into those programs. Through a partnership <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Public Instruction,<br />
the N.C. Community College System, the University <strong>of</strong> North Carolina system and many independent colleges<br />
and universities, North Carolina is helping eligible high school students to begin earning college credit at a<br />
community college campus while they are still in high school. Information regarding the College and Career<br />
Promise (CCP) program and other programs is available in the guidance <strong>of</strong>fice, from division/homeroom<br />
teachers and from Career Development Coordinators in each school.<br />
NORTH CAROLINA ACADEMIC SCHOLARS PROGRAM<br />
The North Carolina State Board <strong>of</strong> Education, believing that the success <strong>of</strong> our state and nation depends on<br />
the full development <strong>of</strong> our youth and that students should be encouraged to pursue a well-balanced but<br />
rigorous high school program, instituted a North Carolina Academic Scholars <strong>Program</strong>.<br />

Randolph County School System 6 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
STAY IN SCHOOL- GRADUATE!<br />
High school graduation is a minimum requirement for successful adulthood today, and yet, approximately one-third <strong>of</strong> the<br />
North Carolina students who enter high school each fall will not graduate within four or even five years. This statistic leads<br />
to even more heart-breaking statistics for these young people. Adults who do not have a high school diploma are<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
more likely to be incarcerated;<br />
more likely to suffer from poor health;<br />
less likely to earn enough money to support themselves or a family;<br />
more likely to need help from government, social service agencies and charities.<br />
It is not acceptable for North Carolina to lose so many young people before they graduate from high school. The cost to<br />
these young men and women and their families is high. The cost is financial, but it is greater than that. The heaviest cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> all is the loss <strong>of</strong> human accomplishment, <strong>of</strong> happiness, and <strong>of</strong> satisfaction.<br />
We must send one clear message to our young people: Graduate.<br />
"The Message: Graduate" is a special campaign that highlights the importance <strong>of</strong> graduating from high school and<br />
underscores the activities that schools, families and community groups must take to help all students stay in school and<br />
graduate. It is not a project that can be accomplished only through the efforts <strong>of</strong> teachers and principals. This is a longterm<br />
effort, but it will bring long-term benefits. And, it is the right thing to do.<br />
FUTURE-READY CORE CURRICULUM<br />
The guiding mission <strong>of</strong> the North Carolina State Board <strong>of</strong> Education is that every public school student will graduate from<br />
high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21 st Century.<br />
The State Board <strong>of</strong> Education approved a new high school core course <strong>of</strong> study framework to be implemented with<br />
students entering the ninth grade in 2009-10. The framework establishes a core <strong>of</strong> 21* credit units identified as critical<br />
to student preparation for the economic and societal demands <strong>of</strong> the 21 st century. Within the 21* credit units are six<br />
elective units. The Future-Ready Core requires at least two <strong>of</strong> the six elective units to be a combination <strong>of</strong> Career<br />
Technical Education, Arts Education, or Second language.<br />
The proposed Future-Ready Core includes the following items:<br />
4 units <strong>of</strong> English<br />
4 units <strong>of</strong> mathematics<br />
3 units <strong>of</strong> science<br />
4 units <strong>of</strong> social studies (*3 units <strong>of</strong> social studies for students entering the 9 th grade before 2012-2013)<br />
1 unit <strong>of</strong> health/physical education<br />
6 units <strong>of</strong> electives<br />
These changes will replace the former Courses <strong>of</strong> Study (College Prep, College Tech Prep, Career) from which students<br />
select their high school coursework. The Core raises the number <strong>of</strong> required courses from 20 to 21 for all students except<br />
for Occupational Course <strong>of</strong> Study students. The Occupational Course <strong>of</strong> Study, currently in place for certain students with<br />
disabilities, would not be affected at all by these changes. Most students already take the core classes, but this core<br />
raises the standard by requiring four mathematics courses for all. The endorsement requires students to select an area <strong>of</strong><br />
emphasis for their high school work with an eye to college work, career or both. The core framework <strong>of</strong> courses will not be<br />
one-size-fits-all. Students will select specific courses within the 21 requirements, with opportunities for course<br />
substitutions in some cases where appropriate. The Randolph County School System requires successful completion <strong>of</strong><br />
28 credits for graduation.<br />
*Freshmen entering high school for the first time in 2012-13 (and beyond) will be the first students required to pass two<br />
American History courses in order to receive a high school diploma under the new Social <strong>Studies</strong> Standards approved in<br />
December 2010 by the State Board <strong>of</strong> Education. The two required American History courses mean that students will<br />
need a minimum <strong>of</strong> four credits in social studies and 22 credits overall (The Randolph County School System requires 28<br />
credits for a North Carolina High School diploma.) to graduate.<br />

NORTH CAROLINA END-OF-COURSE TEST REQUIREMENTS<br />
End-<strong>of</strong>-Course Tests will be administered for the following courses: Math I, Biology and English II<br />
All End-<strong>of</strong>-Course Tests will count 25% <strong>of</strong> the student’s final grade for each <strong>of</strong> the courses listed above.<br />
All Career-Technical Education courses require the CTE Post-Assessments with the following exceptions:<br />
Advanced <strong>Studies</strong> and Internships.<br />
All CTE Post-Assessments will count 25% <strong>of</strong> the student’s final grade for each <strong>of</strong> the courses listed above.<br />
Some high school courses will also require NCFE (North Carolina Final Exam) assessments.<br />
All NCFE assessments will count 25% <strong>of</strong> the student’s final grade for each course in which an NCFE is required.<br />
Students may not exempt a required state assessment and will not be exempt from exams in these courses.<br />
TESTING PROGRAMS IN HIGH SCHOOL<br />
End-Of- Course Tests<br />
All students enrolled in a course that requires an End-<strong>of</strong>-Course (EOC) test must take the test. Scores on End<strong>of</strong>-Course<br />
tests will count 25% <strong>of</strong> the final course average. Students must meet the local performance<br />
standards to receive credit for the course. These standards are (1) achieving and overall final course average<br />
<strong>of</strong> 60 or above, and (2) meeting the county attendance requirement.<br />
NOTE: The final average is determined from the student’s class average and the EOC score. Credit is granted<br />
when the final average meets or exceeds a passing score. If the final course average is not passing, then the<br />
student must repeat the entire course (repeating a course for credit) or obtain credit through a Credit Recovery<br />
option.<br />
North Carolina Final Exams<br />
The NC Final Exams (NCFEs) are common exams in selected subjects and grades that are not part <strong>of</strong> the NC<br />
EOC Testing <strong>Program</strong>. Growth in some subjects and grades such as performing arts will be measured through<br />
(ASW) analysis <strong>of</strong> student work. The goal is to capture students’ knowledge and skills in an authentic way.<br />
Scores on these tests will count 25% <strong>of</strong> the final course average.<br />
Career and Technical Education Post-Assessments<br />
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) program mandates testing in all Career and Technical Education<br />
courses. The required tests provide the current status <strong>of</strong> student performance and documentation for course<br />
competency mastery and gains. Scores on the CTE Post-Assessments are used as the exam score and count<br />
as 25% <strong>of</strong> the final grad in that course.<br />
ACT- North Carolina<br />
North Carolina began administering three new assessments (the ACT, PLAN and WorkKeys) in 2011-2012 in<br />
preparation for the state’s new accountability model and to provide additional diagnostic tools for students and<br />
their teachers.<br />
Randolph County School System 8 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
The PLAN provides a midpoint review <strong>of</strong> academic progress in high school while there is still time to make<br />
necessary interventions to keep students on track toward educational and career goals. It is typically<br />
administered to sophomores in October.<br />
The ACT Plus Writing provides public school juniors an opportunity to participate in a college readiness<br />
assessment measuring knowledge and skill in five subject areas: English, mathematics, reading, science, and<br />
writing. This test is typically administered in March.<br />
The WorkKeys assessment is available to 12 th grade public school students who are identified as Career and<br />
Technical Education (CTE) concentrators as part <strong>of</strong> the state’s accountability model and will provide<br />
information about students’ career readiness skills. Many employers utilize these scores in identifying students<br />
as potential employees.<br />
SAT and ACT<br />
The SAT assesses a student’s readiness for college courses and ability to do college work. Almost all colleges<br />
require a score from the SAT or American College Test (ACT) for admissions and/or scholarship application.<br />
Students may take the SAT and ACT as <strong>of</strong>ten as they wish. The SAT is generally given seven times a year<br />
and the ACT is generally given six times a year at a number <strong>of</strong> test sites/locations. Students may get<br />
registration materials for these tests in the Student Services <strong>of</strong>fice. Study materials are also available at each<br />
school site. Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks prior to the date <strong>of</strong> the tests.<br />
The dates are posted on https://sat.collegeboard.org/register/sat-us-dates and<br />
http://www.actstudent.org/regist/dates.html.<br />
Information regarding the tests can be found at https://sat.collegeboard.org/home and<br />
http://www.actstudent.org/<br />
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)<br />
The armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a test <strong>of</strong> mechanical and technical skills that can<br />
be used to predict vocational aptitudes and interests. The results from this test can be helpful in making career<br />
choices. The ASVAB is used to qualify for all branches <strong>of</strong> the military services.<br />
Accuplacer<br />
The Accuplacer is a testing and advising program for placing students into post-secondary institutions. The test<br />
provides information about a student’s level <strong>of</strong> skill and accomplishment in reading, writing and mathematics.<br />
Students interested in enrolling in the Randolph Community College (RCC)/RCSS Cooperative <strong>Program</strong> may<br />
be required to take the Accuplacer.<br />
MINIMUM INSTRUCTIONAL TIME<br />
High schools are required to provide a minimum <strong>of</strong> 6.0 hours per day <strong>of</strong> instructional time. In the high schools, a student<br />
shall carry a course load equal to the number <strong>of</strong> instructional periods in the school day, unless special permission is given<br />
to the student by the principal. Students approved for College and Career Promise (CCP) programs for dual enrollment in<br />
Community College courses are exempt from this policy. Courses must be designed with a minimum <strong>of</strong> 135 contact<br />
hours for students to receive course credit.<br />
Randolph County School System 9 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
CREDIT BY DEMONSTRATED MASTERY (CDM) OPPORTUNITIES<br />
Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM) is the process by which each school district shall award students<br />
credit for a high school course without requiring the student to complete the classroom instruction or enroll in<br />
the course for a certain amount <strong>of</strong> seat time. In other words, CDM allows students with deep understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the content prior to taking the course, to receive a high school course credit. The intention <strong>of</strong> this policy is to<br />
enable students to access more advanced content to meet their academic needs. CDM is a multi-phase<br />
assessment process that builds a body <strong>of</strong> evidence that allows a committee to determine if a student has a<br />
deep understanding <strong>of</strong> the standards for the course or subject area, thereby earning credit for the course<br />
without experiencing it in the school setting. CDM can only be earned for standard level courses. Students who<br />
demonstrate mastery, through the CDM process, shall receive credit for the course toward graduation<br />
requirements. Credit shall be indicated on a student’s transcript and where applicable, a ―PASS‖ will be<br />
earned and shown on the transcript. The school/district will not grant a numeric or letter grade for the course<br />
and the course will not be included in the student’s grade point average (GPA) calculation.<br />
The CDM program provides an opportunity for students to learn new content, to challenge themselves with the<br />
next level <strong>of</strong> rigor in a subject, and even graduate early. This option is not designed to replace existing<br />
accelerated pathways, such as Honors, Advanced Placement or College and Career Promise Courses, but is<br />
intended to allow select students the opportunity to bypass a course in which they already excel. All Randolph<br />
County School System High School students may apply to earn credit for high-school level courses <strong>of</strong>fered in<br />
grades 9-12.<br />
Students and parents should think ahead to courses that a student will want to take next school year. This<br />
spring, students will apply and attempt CDM for courses that they will take during the 2016-2017 school year.<br />
CDM opportunities will generally be <strong>of</strong>fered two times per year, once in the spring and then again in the fall, to<br />
inform placement for the upcoming school year. Please see your school counselor or visit the district webpage<br />
for more information regarding this process.<br />
COURSE SELECTION<br />
Each student served by the Randolph County School System may request any course listed in this planning<br />
guide. However, not all courses are available at all schools. Prerequisites may vary slightly from school to<br />
school based on individual school registration sheets. The system has the potential <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fering each<br />
course, subject to sufficient minimum student enrollment and adequate staffing and materials. Unfortunately,<br />
all courses in the course <strong>of</strong> study may not be <strong>of</strong>fered due to the reasons listed above. If seats are limited,<br />
preference will be given to juniors and seniors when courses are needed to complete pathway requirements for<br />
graduation.<br />
As students register for courses they should give careful consideration to the courses they select each year<br />
and the alternate courses that they select. Students should understand that they may be enrolled in alternate<br />
courses if their course preferences are not available. Please reference ―Schedule Changes‖ section in this<br />
booklet for further information.<br />

SUGGESTIONS FOR COLLEGE BOUND STUDENTS<br />
College-bound students should obtain the requirements for the college(s) that they are considering. Admission<br />
information, as well as application and scholarship timelines, may be obtained by writing the specific college’s<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> Admissions and requesting a catalog, by visiting its web site, and by requesting a college catalog from<br />
the Student Services <strong>of</strong>fice. This information will help students select the appropriate courses for admission<br />
into the college or university <strong>of</strong> their choice. If students are uncertain about their choice <strong>of</strong> a college or their<br />
future plans, that should follow the UNC Minimum Admission Requirements (MARs) for Undergraduate<br />
Admissions. Students should also plan to take the PSAT as underclassmen. Students are encouraged to take<br />
the SAT/ACT during their junior year and at least once in the fall <strong>of</strong> the senior year.<br />
UNC Minimum Course Requirement for Undergraduate Admissions<br />
The minimum high school course requirements needed for admission to any <strong>of</strong> the 16 University <strong>of</strong> North<br />
Carolina institutions are listed below.<br />
4 units <strong>of</strong> English<br />
4 units <strong>of</strong> mathematics (Math I, Math II, Math III, and a higher level math course)<br />
3 units <strong>of</strong> science (biology, a physical science and earth environmental science)<br />
2 units <strong>of</strong> social studies ( US History and one other)<br />
2 units <strong>of</strong> foreign language ( two units <strong>of</strong> one language)<br />
A high school diploma or its equivalent<br />

COURSE LEVELS<br />
There are multiple levels <strong>of</strong> instruction in most course areas. The levels <strong>of</strong> course instruction follow the<br />
mandated state system for academic course levels and for the weighting <strong>of</strong> grades. This current system <strong>of</strong><br />
weighting is in effect for students who entered the 9 th grade prior to 2015-2016. Students entering the 9 th<br />
grade for the first time in 2015- 2016 and after will utilize a new system <strong>of</strong> associated weights.<br />
Advanced<br />
Placement<br />
(AP)<br />
Community<br />
College (CC)<br />
Honors (H)<br />
Standard (S)<br />
ACADEMIC COURSE LEVELS AND ASSOCIATED WEIGHTS<br />
Advanced Placement Course content, pace, and academic rigor is college-level as adopted by<br />
the College Board and is geared to enable students to pass the Advanced Placement<br />
Examination. The state weighting system adds quality points to the grades earned in these<br />
courses. Ninth graders entering prior to 2015-2016 will receive the equivalent <strong>of</strong> two quality<br />
points added to the grades earned in AP courses. Students entering ninth grade for the first<br />
time in 2015-2016 and after will receive the equivalent <strong>of</strong> one quality point added to the grades<br />
earned in AP courses.<br />
Career and College Promise (CCP) provides seamless dual enrollment educational<br />
opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students in order to accelerate completion<br />
<strong>of</strong> college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide<br />
entry-level job skills. North Carolina community colleges may <strong>of</strong>fer Career and College Promise<br />
pathways aligned with the K-12 curriculum and career and college ready standards adopted by<br />
the State Board <strong>of</strong> Education. These college transfer CCP courses may carry honors credit<br />
weight. (See Honors Description below.)<br />
Course content, pace, and academic rigor put high expectations on the student and surpass<br />
the standards specified by the North Carolina Standard Course <strong>of</strong> Study. Such courses<br />
demand a greater independence and responsibility. These courses require the End <strong>of</strong> Course<br />
Tests, CTE Post Assessments and North Carolina Final Exams (NCFEs) where available.<br />
Ninth graders entering prior to 2015-2016 will receive the equivalent <strong>of</strong> one quality point added<br />
to the grades earned in Honors courses. Students entering ninth grade for the first time in<br />
2015-2016 and after will receive the equivalent <strong>of</strong> .5 quality points added to the grades earned<br />
in Honors courses. Select community college courses carry honors credit.<br />
Course content, pace, and academic rigor follow standards specified by the North Carolina<br />
Standard Course <strong>of</strong> Study with occasional content enrichment where appropriate. These<br />
courses require the End <strong>of</strong> Course Tests, CTE Post Assessments and North Carolina Final<br />
Exams (NCFEs) where available. College and Career Promise Career and Technical<br />
Education courses receive Standard credit.<br />
Randolph County School System 12 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017

ON-LINE COURSE OFFERINGS<br />
In some instances, students may take advantage <strong>of</strong> on-line learning opportunities through the NC Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Public Instruction’s North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS), North Carolina School <strong>of</strong> Math and<br />
Science, and North Carolina’s Career and College Promise via Randolph Community College. Through a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> online management systems, students may take a wide variety <strong>of</strong> courses, including AP and college<br />
courses that they may not have access to at their high school. While distance learning opportunities provide<br />
tremendous benefits to students, in regards to course <strong>of</strong>ferings, students centered instruction, flexible<br />
scheduling, heightened critical thinking and written communication skills, there are specific learner<br />
characteristics that promote greater student success in on-line learning environments. Enrollment in these<br />
courses is limited and requires the approval <strong>of</strong> the school principal, the school counselor and the student’s<br />
legal guardian. Priority consideration for registration is given to Seniors and Juniors. Registration dates and<br />
course <strong>of</strong>ferings will be communicated to each school in the late spring. Students should speak directly to their<br />
counselor if they are interested in taking courses through NCVPS. Registration inquiries and requests should<br />
be given directly to the student’s guidance counselor. Additional information, including projected course<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings can be found at www.ncvps.org.<br />
Only courses taken through the opportunities listed above will be placed on the high school transcript. All other<br />
online coursework taken through outside vendors will require a separate transcript from the institution awarding<br />
the credit and will not be added to the student’s Randolph County School’s <strong>of</strong>ficial transcript.<br />
*Online Courses- Courses available online only are subject to funding. Please contact your school’s guidance<br />
counselor for more information. Students will not be permitted to take courses online that are <strong>of</strong>fered at their<br />
home school unless there is a scheduling conflict.<br />
GRADES<br />
In January 2015, the North Carolina State Board <strong>of</strong> Education approved a change in the grading scale for<br />
North Carolina high schools. This policy goes into effect with the 2015-2016 school year and beyond.<br />
Beginning in 2015-2016, the state will move to a ten point scale from the seven point scale that has long been<br />
used.<br />
Grades will be awarded in each subject at the end <strong>of</strong> each nine-week grading period. Subject grades will be<br />
given as follows:<br />
Grade Earned<br />
SUBJECT GRADES<br />
Grade Range<br />
A 90-100<br />

WEIGHTED COURSES<br />
In August 2014, the North Carolina State Board <strong>of</strong> Education approved a policy change that implements a new<br />
quality points weighting system for the freshman class <strong>of</strong> 2015-2016 and all classes beyond. The change is<br />
designed to reduce grade inflation, achieve equal weight for college level courses and reduce the disincentive<br />
for students to take non-advanced courses.<br />
All current high school students, excluding freshman who started high school in the 2015-2016 school year, will<br />
be covered by the prior policy in which students receive 2 extra GPA points for an Advanced Placement (AP)<br />
courses and 1 extra GPA point for an Honors or Community College Transfer course.<br />

COURSE WITHDRAWAL PENALTY<br />
Students are not allowed to drop a course after the first five days <strong>of</strong> each semester. If a student<br />
withdraws after the five-day period, the course is counted as a course attempted. A grade <strong>of</strong> 59 will be<br />
recorded if a student withdraws passing; if a student is failing, the actual grade earned will be recorded. This<br />
also includes students enrolled in NCVPS courses. Students enrolled in Randolph Community College courses<br />
are required to withdraw from RCC classes under specific RCC timelines. However, students must follow<br />
the Randolph County timelines for withdrawing from these courses. Students enrolled in RCC courses<br />
may be deemed ineligible for certain college scholarships and grants if they fail or drop courses after the<br />
designated time periods.<br />
SCHEDULE CHANGES<br />
The development <strong>of</strong> a school master schedule requires much planning and careful course considerations.<br />
Therefore, it is necessary to limit the number and reasons for schedule changes in order not to damage the<br />
integrity <strong>of</strong> the planning process. Every attempt will be made to schedule students in the courses they need<br />
prior to the opening <strong>of</strong> school. Instructional time should not be used to change schedules.<br />
Students will be given an opportunity to change their schedules in the summer. Any student wishing to make a<br />
change in his/her schedule must do so at the designated time as determined by the school.<br />
Requests for a schedule change will be considered:<br />
(a) When a student needs to balance his/her academic load.<br />
(This will be done only on a ―space available‖ basis.)<br />
(b) When a student needs to sequence courses.<br />
(This will be done only on a ―space available‖ basis.)<br />
(c) When a student receives a course for which he/she did not register.<br />
(When a student registers for an alternate course, the student has registered for the course.)<br />
(d) When a student passes a course that he/she assumed he/she would fail.<br />
(e) When a student fails a course required for graduation.<br />
(This will be done only on a ―space available‖ basis, unless the student is a senior.)<br />
Randolph County School System 16 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS<br />
To be classified as a freshman, a student must have been promoted from grade eight.<br />
To be classified as a sophomore, a student must pass the number <strong>of</strong> cumulative units <strong>of</strong> credit<br />
equal to his/her maximum potential less two credits.<br />
To be classified as a junior, a student must pass the number <strong>of</strong> cumulative credits equal to<br />
his/her maximum potential less three credits.<br />
To be classified as a senior, a student must pass the number <strong>of</strong> cumulative credits equal to<br />
his/her maximum potential less four credits.<br />
Maximum potential is defined as an individual student’s opportunity to earn all high school credits available<br />
within an academic year.<br />
Cumulative units <strong>of</strong> credit are defined as the number <strong>of</strong> high school credits earned during an individual<br />
student’s high school career.<br />
There are select high school course opportunities available in middle school (ex. Math I). These courses are<br />
eligible for high school credit and will be added to the cumulative units <strong>of</strong> credit, but are not calculated into the<br />
high school GPA.<br />
Randolph County School System 17 <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> 2016-2017
CLASS RANK<br />
The class rank is based on a weighted grade point average in which a single (1) quality point or weight is<br />
added to passing grades earned in select Community College and Honors courses or two (2) quality points are<br />
added to passing grades earned in Advanced Placement courses for upper classmen. Class rank for freshmen<br />
entering the ninth grade in 2015-2016 and beyond will be determined by adding .5 quality points or weight to<br />
passing grades earned in Honors courses or a single (1) quality point or weight added to passing grades in<br />
select Community College and Advanced Placement courses.<br />
GRADUATION EXERCISES<br />
To be eligible to participate in the graduation exercises (the commencement exercises), a student must be<br />
eligible to receive a diploma or a certificate and be in good standing (free <strong>of</strong> disciplinary and financial<br />
encumbrances) on the date and time <strong>of</strong> the graduation program. Participation in Graduation Exercises is a<br />
privilege that must be earned.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION<br />
Attendance:<br />
Scholastic:<br />
A player must have been in attendance for at least 85 percent <strong>of</strong> the previous semester at an<br />
approved high school.<br />
A student must have passed three courses during the preceding semester for schools on the<br />
―block‖ schedule or five courses in the traditional school schedule. A student must also be<br />
promoted to the next grade level. Rising first time 9 th graders are automatically academically<br />
eligible to participate in athletics during the first semester <strong>of</strong> their high school career.<br />

Randolph Early College High School<br />
Randolph Early College High School (RECHS) is an autonomous high school located on the campus <strong>of</strong><br />
Randolph Community College (RCC) in Asheboro, North Carolina. Currently RECHS has a total enrollment <strong>of</strong><br />
311 students. The student body consists <strong>of</strong> young people from all areas <strong>of</strong> Randolph County. RECHS is a part<br />
<strong>of</strong> an initiative to reform traditional high schools. A main goal is to provide students at RECHS the opportunity<br />
to earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree (Associate <strong>of</strong> Arts – College Transfer or Associate <strong>of</strong><br />
Applied Science) in four or five years at little to no cost beyond regular school fees. RECHS celebrated its first<br />
graduation on May 19, 2010 having opened its doors to the initial cohort <strong>of</strong> freshmen in August 2006. The<br />
school mascot is the Raven. School colors are red, black, and silver.<br />
RECHS is supported in part by North Carolina’s Learn and Earn initiative and is part <strong>of</strong> the N.C. New Schools<br />
network which promotes a common instructional framework that drives instructional practice: every student<br />
reads, writes, thinks, and talks in every classroom every day. In collaboration with Randolph Community<br />
College, students are given the opportunity to take their core academic high school classes while also taking<br />
community college courses that prepare them for post-high school education and the world <strong>of</strong> work.<br />
Approximately one half <strong>of</strong> the first-year students take a humanities course and a social/behavioral science<br />
course with RCC, while the remaining students enroll in a college computer course, physical education course,<br />
and/or a college transfer success course. In the spring, the groups <strong>of</strong> students switch courses so that by the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the year they have had the opportunity to take four or five college courses and earn up to twelve<br />
semester-hours <strong>of</strong> college credit. Simultaneously, the students take two high school academic classes each<br />
semester and have weekly academic support time in the form <strong>of</strong> Academic Labs. Additionally, students are<br />
each assigned to a Seminar class in which they are taught teen leadership and life skills while building<br />
relationships with a faculty member and a small group <strong>of</strong> peers.<br />
As second year students, RCC classes are selected based on students’ future plans, and students take<br />
between one and three community college courses. Students are counseled individually in order to select<br />
courses that meet their interests as well as their desired course <strong>of</strong> study. Year-two students are also scheduled<br />
into Academic Lab times and a Seminar class to support their college schedules and workload.<br />
During the third and fourth years, students take face-to-face courses, online courses, and hybrid courses.<br />
Individual student course-loads vary from student to student. High school classes for these students could be<br />
semester-long or year-long. Upperclassmen are assigned Academic Labs to support the workload and stay<br />
connected to the high school. Students are pursuing terminal two-year degrees (Associate <strong>of</strong> Applied Science),<br />
while most are working towards an Associate <strong>of</strong> Arts – College Transfer degree to transfer to a four-year<br />
college or university.<br />
Throughout the school year, RECHS students are exposed to a variety <strong>of</strong> educational experiences as an<br />
extension <strong>of</strong> the traditional classroom. Field trips to university campuses, opportunities to attend cultural<br />
events, and visits to local places <strong>of</strong> interest expose RECHS students to community resources while building<br />
their leadership skills. Guest speakers serve to enhance the community college physical education curriculum<br />
while giving students a broadened sense <strong>of</strong> the agencies available to them in our community. RECHS <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
clubs and organizations based on student interests. All students are challenged to participate in volunteerism<br />
and community service projects each year in the spirit <strong>of</strong> giving back to the community and being active,<br />
contributing members <strong>of</strong> society.<br />
Acceptance into the Early College program is through an application process during the spring <strong>of</strong> a student’s<br />
eighth grade year. Interest meetings are held at each <strong>of</strong> the RCCS middle schools. For more information,<br />
begin by contacting a student’s current School Counselor or Principal, and visit the RECHS website accessible<br />
from the district homepage.<br />

THE CAREER AND COLLEGE PROMISE PROGRAM<br />
RANDOLPH COMMUNITY COLLEGE<br />
To learn more about Randolph Community College please visit their webpage:<br />
http://www.randolph.edu/<br />
These courses are designed for students who plan to enter college. These challenging curriculums are <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
in collaboration with Randolph Community College. Randolph Community College provides the instruction and<br />
course content for these courses. Placement tests must be taken and successfully completed to gain entry<br />
into the college transfer pathways. Dual credit will be awarded for courses that meet the depth, breadth and<br />
rigor as deemed appropriate by the superintendent.<br />
Courses selected have been articulated with the North Carolina University system as approved transfer<br />
courses. Students planning to transfer to colleges outside the North Carolina University System should consult<br />
the catalog <strong>of</strong> the institution to which they plan to transfer to guide them in selecting acceptable courses for<br />
transfer to a senior college or university.<br />
Students may have to purchase their own textbooks; however, they will not have to pay tuition. To be eligible to<br />
receive financial aid from RCC after graduation from high school, the student must maintain satisfactory<br />
academic progress toward an eligible program <strong>of</strong> study. The student must successfully complete 67% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cumulative credit hours attempted to meet the minimum requirement. Example: if the student attempts 12<br />
credit hours during enrollment, the student must successfully complete 8 credit hours (12 hours attempted x<br />
67% = 8 hours). Successful completion is defined as receiving a grade <strong>of</strong> A, B, C, D.<br />

WORLD LANGUAGES<br />
High School grades 9-12 have language focused programs. These are intended to develop pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in the<br />
modern language, to articulate college-level language courses, and to provide the credits students need to<br />
meet and exceed college entrance requirements, like the University <strong>of</strong> North Carolina system’s Minimum<br />
Admissions Requirement <strong>of</strong> two credits in the same second language or demonstration <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in a<br />
language other than English. Students who choose to take a world language (foreign language) should plan<br />
their program wisely. Many colleges maintain very specific foreign language requirements. Concluding the<br />
language in the twelfth grade is recommended so that a student will not have a significant interruption in<br />
training from high school to college or actual utilization <strong>of</strong> the training.<br />

1A087X0 AP SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE S T 1 credit<br />
Prerequisite: Spanish IV and/or Teacher/Principal Recommendation<br />
The AP Spanish Language and Culture course engages students in an exploration <strong>of</strong> culture in both<br />
contemporary and historical contexts. The course develops students’ awareness and appreciation <strong>of</strong> products,<br />
both tangible (e.g., tools, books) and intangible (e.g., laws, conventions, institutions); practices (patterns <strong>of</strong><br />
social interactions within a culture); and perspectives (values, attitudes, and assumptions that underlie both<br />
practices and products). The AP Spanish Language and Culture course strives to promote both fluency and<br />
accuracy in language use and not to overemphasize grammatical accuracy at the expense <strong>of</strong> communication.<br />
In order to best facilitate the study <strong>of</strong> language and culture, the course is taught in the target language<br />
(Spanish).<br />
The AP Spanish Language and Culture course is structured around six themes: Global Challenges, Personal<br />
and Public Identities, Science and Technology, Beauty and Aesthetics, Contemporary Life, Families and<br />
Communities.<br />
Students who enroll in AP Spanish Language and Culture should already have a good command <strong>of</strong> Spanish<br />
grammar and vocabulary and have competence in listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Although these<br />

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION<br />
The mission <strong>of</strong> Career and Technical Education is to help empower students for effective participation in an<br />
international economy as world-class workers and citizens. <strong>Program</strong>s in Career and Technical Education are<br />
designed to contribute to the broad educational achievement <strong>of</strong> students, enhancing skills such as reading,<br />
writing and mathematics as well as their ability to work independently and as part <strong>of</strong> a team, think creatively<br />
and solve problems and utilize technology.<br />
Career Clusters<br />
Career Clusters is a way <strong>of</strong> grouping all careers into sixteen categories. The careers in each cluster share a<br />
foundation <strong>of</strong> common knowledge and skills. These clusters frame student opportunities in secondary and<br />
postsecondary education as they prepare for a wide range <strong>of</strong> career opportunities. The Randolph County<br />
School System supports the Career Clusters framework in its Career and Technical Education course<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings. All students are encouraged to complete a concentration <strong>of</strong> Career and Technical Education courses<br />
within a cluster to gain essential skills needed for a successful transition to postsecondary opportunities.<br />
According to data submitted to the U.S. Education Department, students in North Carolina who completed a<br />
CTE concentration (sequence <strong>of</strong> CTE courses within a cluster) were more likely to graduate than students<br />
overall.<br />
To earn a CTE concentration, students must successfully complete four credits within a particular Career<br />
Cluster. Three <strong>of</strong> the courses must be from the Foundational sequence, one <strong>of</strong> which must be a second-level<br />
(capstone) course. The fourth credit may be selected from the Foundational sequence or the list <strong>of</strong> approved<br />
Enhancement courses. Students completing the CTE concentration are designated as ―CTE Concentrators‖ or<br />
―CTE Completers‖ and are eligible for additional opportunities including:<br />
Career Endorsement on high school diploma<br />
National Career Readiness Certification through ACT WorkKeys assessment system<br />
The organization <strong>of</strong> Foundational and Enhancement courses within each Career Cluster is outlined in the chart<br />
on the following page. Second-level (capstone) courses are designated with a diamond. An example <strong>of</strong> a CTE<br />
concentration is also listed below.<br />

ADVANCED STUDIES & INTERNSHIPS<br />
Internships allow for additional development <strong>of</strong> career and technical competencies. Internships are an<br />
essential way for today’s youth to experience the value <strong>of</strong> work, develop pride in work, and mature personally.<br />
Many communities have opportunities for students to intern in an industry or to work with some community<br />
organization addressing a particular problem or need <strong>of</strong> the business/industry sector.<br />
Internships allow students to observe and participate in daily operations, develop direct contact with job<br />
personnel, ask questions about a particular career, and perform certain job tasks. This activity is exploratory<br />
and allows the student to get hands-on experience in a number <strong>of</strong> related activities. Students are limited to<br />
one internship opportunity each semester.<br />
Career major internship deviates from the traditional internship in that the workplace activity is directly related<br />
to classroom instruction and the career path <strong>of</strong> the student. A minimum <strong>of</strong> 135 hours should be completed and<br />
one unit <strong>of</strong> elective credit may be given. A grade <strong>of</strong> Pass/Fail will be issued and will not count in the student’s<br />
GPA.<br />

FUNCTIONAL SKILLS CURRICULUM<br />
The Every Student Succeeds Act, an Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), requires that all<br />
students have access to the common core at their grade level. Individuals with the most significant cognitive<br />
disabilities access these through the North Carolina extended content standards. The courses listed below<br />
provide entry point extensions so that all students can have meaningful and functional access to grade level<br />
standards. The complete Standard Course <strong>of</strong> Study and Extended Content Standards with Demonstrators<br />
may be found at www.ncpublicschools.org and type ―Extended Content Standards‖ in the search box. You will<br />
find descriptions <strong>of</strong> courses at this site.<br />
The Functional Skills Curriculum is a program that provides individualized instruction that incorporates content<br />
from the extended content standards, as well as, the teaching <strong>of</strong> skills required to be as independent as<br />
possible as they transition into adulthood. Classroom simulations and community-based instruction within the<br />
natural environment will be used in teaching students the skills required to be independent in their home,<br />
school, community and vocational environments. The main objective for each student is to develop greater<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iciency and independence in meeting their specific Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals. Goals and<br />
objectives will vary according to each student’s individual needs as specified in the IEP.<br />
