mazama high school january 2015
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
The 2014-15 school year is flying by and believe it or not, staff will soon be
making recommendations and students will begin selecting courses for next
school year. In the next month or so, you may want to review your students’
progress, talk with them about future goals and what their course selections
might include. Remember, it is very informative for you and your student to
review their data on our Home Access Center (HAC) web page. It would assist
you in transcript courses, grades and current classes. Also, our curriculum guide
is available on our home page for general information, graduation requirement,
teacher selection and reference materials to make course selections. If you need
assistance feel free to contact the guidance office for instructions.
Parents are encouraged to be a part of student success, and this is a great
opportunity to stay involved in their educational choices. School counselors are
always available for course explanation and the most beneficial pathway in your
selection process. I would encourage students to challenge themselves and
make every effort to take a full schedule as an upper classman. So many times I
see great students take their senior year off, in preparation for college. That is
much like a NFL star going on vacation before playing in the Super Bowl.
Mazama offers a wide variety of courses that will challenge every student, if
they choose this path.

KCC ADVANCED DIPLOMA (ADP)
ADP is a partnership between Klamath Community College, KCC, the Klamath County School
District, Klamath Falls City Schools, Eagle Ridge High School and Lake County School District
that keeps your seniors enrolled in high school after the senior year, while providing a free year of
college at KCC, including tuition, fees and textbooks (valued upwards of $7000).
Students will be dually-enrolled in high school and KCC, and are - for most intents and purposes -
college students.
The school district will retain the high school diploma during the ADP. Upon completing a full
academic year in the ADP or upon withdrawing from the program, the student will receive a high
school diploma.
After ADP, the student is welcome to continued at KCC, transfer to another college or university
or jump into the career he/she trained for while in the ADP.
Important Dates
April 15, 2015 - First day to turn in application for 2015-16 ADP
