Academic Calendar
The District’s academic calendar is defined by the first calendar day of instruction and continues until the first calendar day of the next
school year, as approved by the Board of Trustees. For purposes of course select on, a student may only enroll n courses publ shed
n the D str ct’s Catalog of Course Offer ngs for that part cular academ c calendar.
Course Selection
The follow ng po nts are mportant n select ng courses:
• Future career plans: college, technical/vocational school, armed services
• Spec al talents or nterests: art st c, athlet c, dramat c, mus cal
• High School Graduation Plan requirements. (Please note changes in high school graduation plans based on the year students
enter Grade 9.)
• Results of nterest and apt tude survey.
The nformat on n th s catalog was current n December 2009. Please check the D str ct’s web page for updates to the course catalog.
Students and parents are responsible for selecting a graduation program plan and choosing courses that satisfy the requirements of
that plan. The graduation plan chosen should be compared with the admission requirements of colleges under consideration. Students
should contact the r counselors as soon as poss ble regard ng the r graduat on program plan and college adm ss ons.
College Admissions
Students and parents should be aware that because colleges and universities may change their admissions requirements, and grade
point calculation methodology, updated information should be promptly requested regarding admissions, fees, and deadlines as soon
as students dent fy a part cular nst tut on of h gher educat on. Student athletes should also refer to the nformat on regard ng the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements published by the District’s Office of Athletics staff.
Rank-in-Class Calculations
An nter m rank- n-class stand ng w ll be calculated each Fall (September) for Grades 10, 11, and 12 students. In January, an
additional interim rank-in-class standing will be calculated for students in Grades 10, 11, and 12. Grade 12 students will have final
rank-in-class standings calculated at the end of the third reporting period. Specific questions regarding rank-in-class standing may be
referred to the campus counselors or principal. An “Early College” high school student classified as a sophomore, junior or senior and
who transfers to a trad t onal comprehens ve D str ct h gh school or returns to the r home h gh school s not el g ble for the honorary

Students should carefully plan their four-year program of courses. After all courses required for the chosen graduat on plan have

an automat c fa l ng grade.
Students should choose courses carefully before prereg ster ng n the spr ng. Schedule changes w ll be made for necessary reasons,
such as computer error or failure of a prerequisite. Student- or parent-initiated schedule changes will be considered only if requested
dur ng the first five (5) school days the class meets. Dropp ng a course s cons dered a schedule change. Adm n strator- or teachern

Foy H. Moody High School
Science and Health Center
Moody H gh School has mplemented an academy concept to better serve students. The purposes of the academy concept are the
follow ng:
• To prov de smaller learn ng env ronments so that all students, to the greatest poss ble extent, w ll take core-curr cular courses
w th the same groups of students.
• To personalize the teaching/learning process for students and for teachers.
• To prov de students w th a relevant h gh school exper ence that establ shes a clear purpose for the student and parent
throughout the four years of study.
• To structure an educational program for each student to meet his/her needs and interests.
The five academies are broken into the following career paths: Pre-Engineering, Mathematics, and Science; Industrial Trades and
Technology Management; Arts and Human t es; Bus ness and Profess onal Management Serv ces; and Health Sc ence. Each academy
uses curr culum t ed to a career pathway, wh ch s also al gned w th the TEKS. In add t on, real-world bus ness partnersh ps ensure
that Moody-trained students meet industry standards and enter the workforce with certifications and/or licensures, or credits toward
the same.
HEALTH SCIENCE ACADEMY
The Health Science Academy courses afford students the opportunity to obtain certification in Phlebotomy, Emergency Medical
Technician, Certified Nursing Assistant and Pharmacy Technician. The students may also receive dual credit in Physical and
Occupational Therapy and Medical Laboratory Technician (dual credit only, no certification). The certifications allow students to
begin working after graduation to earn money for medical school and/or other college academic degree programs.
Admission Process for the Health Science Academy
Adm ss on n the Health Sc ence Academy s str ctly by appl cat on. Students can only be adm tted n the Health Sc ence Academy as

What is AchieveTexas?
Welcome to AchieveTexas, wh ch s, a new educat on n t at ve des gned to prepare all students for a l fet me of success. It allows
ALL students to ach eve excellence by prepar ng them for secondary and postsecondary opportun t es, career preparat on and
advancement, mean ngful work, and act ve c t zensh p.
AchieveTexas s a system des gned to help students (and the r parents) make w se educat on cho ces. It s based on the bel ef
that the curr culum of the 21st century should comb ne r gorous academ cs w th relevant career educat on. When schools ntegrate
academ c and techn cal educat on, students can see the “usefulness” of what they are learn ng. The system also fac l tates a seamless
trans t on from secondary to postsecondary opportun t es.
This initiative uses the sixteen federally defined Career Clusters of the States’ Career Clusters initiative (www.careerclusters.org)
as the foundat on for restructur ng how schools arrange the r nstruct onal programs. A Career Cluster s a group ng of occupat ons
and broad ndustr es based on commonal t es. The s xteen Career Clusters prov de an organ z ng tool for schools, small learn ng
commun t es, academ es, and magnet schools. Career Pathway models have been developed for each of the Career Clusters. These
models represent a recommended sequence of coursework based on a student’s interest or career goal.
Courses w th an aster sk (*) are el g ble for Technology graduat on cred ts. Courses w th two aster sks (**) can be subst tuted for PE
cred ts.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE CATEGORIES
Top 10 Percent Eligible for Automatic College Admission - Top students n Texas are el g ble for automat c adm ss on to any
public university n Texas. Under House B ll 588 passed by the 75th Leg slature n 1997, students who are n the top 10 percent of
the r graduat ng classes are el g ble for automat c adm ss on to any publ c un vers ty n Texas. To be el g ble for the automat c college
adm ss on, a student must meet the follow ng cr ter a:
• Graduate in the top 10 percent of his/her class at a public or private high school in Texas with a Recommended or Distinguished
