COMMENCEMENT PARTICIPATION: To be eligible to participate in commencement exercises, and/or to be involved in any senior activity, all senior students will be informed throughout their senior year if they are on track to participate in Commencement or to obtain their HS diploma. Those within 1.0 credit of graduation are allowed to participate in Commencement. To be on track to graduate and to participate in Commencement exercises, graduating seniors need to have 27.0 by commencement.

SCHEDULE CHANGES: Students will be required to complete schedule changes during the first 3 days of the trimester. Changes will be made on a case by case basis with parent, student, counselor, and principal involvement.

EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS:1. Minnesota Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act (PSEO): The Postsecondary Enrollment Options

Act makes it possible for all high school students to attend a college or technical college either full or part time if the student meets the post-secondary institution entrance standards. The student will receive high school credit for post-secondary courses. Students are expected to inform the high school counselor by March of their intent to participate in the program for the coming year. Courses taken through this program and grades received will be figured in the student's grade point average and class rank. A 10th, 11th, or 12th grade pupil enrolled in a district may enroll in a career or technical education course offered by a Minnesota state college or university. A 10th grade pupil applying for enrollment in a career or technical education course under this subdivision must have received a passing score on the 8th grade Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment in reading as a condition of enrollment. A 9th or 10th grade pupil enrolled may apply to enroll in courses, if after all 11th and 12th grade students have applied for a course, additional students are necessary to offer the course. The entire policy with eligibility standards for students in grades 9-12 can be viewed https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=124d.09

2. Crow River Area Learning Center: Hutchinson School District provides an Area Learning Center for high school students who have fallen behind in credits or have partially or completely withdrawn

from the regular day program. Students may apply through their counselor. Final placement must be approved by a committee of school personnel.

Students may enroll or be referred to the Night ALC program if they meet certain entrance requirements. This program meets four nights a week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is initiated by contacting the ALC Director or your high school counselor.

Students who attend the Crow River Area Learning Center must satisfy Hutchinson High School graduation requirements in order to receive a high school diploma.

“College, 1-2-3”Hutchinson High School recommends that students wanting to take College (Concurrent or PSEO) or Advanced Placement (AP) courses do the following: Begin by taking ONE course the first year, then adding ONE course per year. Anyone deviating from this plan should have special permission from parents and counselors to ensure that you are ready to take on such a challenge. Really, no matter what

SOPHOMORE

age you start, it is a good idea to pace yourself with this expectation.

PLANNING FOR COLLEGE

1. Minnesota State University System High School Preparation Requirements: The following courses are expected to be completed in grades 9-12 by students seeking admission to a Minnesota State University:A. Four years of English (including composition, literature and speech)B. Three years of mathematics (2 years of algebra, of which one is intermediate or advanced

algebra, and 1 year of geometry). U of M requires 4 years.C. Three years of science (at least 1 year of a biological and physical science at least one

course including significant laboratory experiences).D. Three years of Social Studies (including 1 year each of U.S. history and geography).E. Specified electives with three years chosen from at least 2 of the following:

(1) World Language (including non-English languages and Amer Sign Language) (2) World Culture (incl. world cultures, area studies and cultural/ethnic studies)(3) The Arts (visual arts, performing arts of theater, music, dance and media arts)

SENIOR3

JUNIOR2

2. What if a student doesn't know if or where he/she will attend college: The courses required for admission to a Minnesota State University is consistent with the requirements of the University of Minnesota, the University of Wisconsin system, and the North Dakota State Universities as well as many other postsecondary institutions and systems across the country. The only difference the University of Minnesota would add is the emphasis on two to three years of study in the same World Language (Foreign Language) and for the class of 2015 and beyond 4 years of math and science will be required.

3. What about Private Colleges: High School preparation requirements/ recommendations for students interested in private colleges are also consistent with number one.

4. Qualifying admission standards vary among colleges, ranging from the very highly selective schools that are looking for high achievement and test scores in applicants to those open to virtually any high school graduate regardless of high school rank or test scores. All colleges, however, look for student characteristics that include:A. A good academic record in a solid college preparatory high school program.B. Recommendations including support for academic growth.C. Admission test(s)D. Commitment or involvement in some school, extracurricular or community service.E. Personal qualities such as energy, initiative, motivation, leadership & creativity.

5. 2 Year College Program Enrollment – what it takes to get in:A. The two-year state community and technical colleges have an open admissions policy. This

means if you have a high school diploma or a GED, you can enroll. B. Once you have been admitted to a community or technical college, you will be required to take

an assessment test. This is used to determine which English and mathematics classes are appropriate for you.

C. You have a better chance to do well if you have completed two years of algebra and one year of geometry. If you did not, or if you had minimum passing scores on the Minnesota Basic Standards test, you will likely have to take non-degree credit developmental or remedial courses before you can take college-level courses.

6. NCAA Athletes: Division I or II college or University !!The following information from the National Collegiate Athletic Association is directed to all perspective student-athletes first entering a collegiate institution. To be considered a qualifier at a Division I or II institution and be eligible for financial aid, practice and competition during your first year a student must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Students who want to participate in NCAA Division I or II athletics should start the certification process by the end of their junior year or early in their senior year.

To be certified by the Clearinghouse, students must:A. Graduate from high school. Preliminary certification may be issued for students; final

certification will be issued only after final transcript receipt, including proof of graduation.B. Earn a grade point average of at least 2.3 on a 4.0 scale, in at least 16 academic core

courses, and ACT sum of 75 for Division I schools or 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in16 core courses for Division II schools, and ACT sum of 68.

7. TESTS: Colleges expect every applicant to submit scores from at least one admissions test which, along with high school records, would support the student's potential to handle college level work. The three most commonly used admission tests include:

A. The American College Test (ACT) – is offered to all HHS students one time in high school free of charge. This test is also recommended for admission by most Minnesota and Midwest colleges.

B. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) - offered in the fall of the junior year, is the test required for entrance into the National Merit Scholarship competition and accepted for admission by some Minnesota Colleges.

C. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) offered in the spring of the junior year or fall of the senior year is the test often recommended by eastern and western colleges and required for students who are National Merit Semifinalists. Some students may also need to write achievement tests (subject area tests) if applying to highly selective colleges. Achievement tests and the SAT are both sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) and are given on the same national test dates.

Points to Remember:•Students should take the ACT or SAT when they are juniors (opportunity to retest as seniors and consult with their counselor about completing core courses)•When registering for the ACT or SAT, students should mark code 9999 as one

of the choices of college and scholarship codes.•Students should submit the Student Release Form to the Clearinghouse by

the beginning of the senior year.

Advanced Placement (AP) Programs:

1. What is the Advanced Placement (AP) Program? AP is a program of college level courses and exams for secondary students. Acceptable examination scores earn credit or advanced placement in over 90 percent of commonly attended colleges.

2. What courses are offered in the Hutchinson AP Program? Biology American Government U.S. HistoryEnglish Literature Human Geography Calculus ABStatistics English Language Environmental ScienceMusic Theory Psychology Studio Art: 2DPhysics I Music Theory Computer Science

3. What is an AP course like? What are expectations? An AP course is a challenging college level learning experience for academically talented high school youth. Because of the advanced work level, students are encouraged to attend special AP class sessions either before or after school during the semester when class does not meet daily. This extra time better prepares the student for successful

EnglishAdventures of the MindCreative WritingEnglish 9 A/B

completion of the AP examination.

4. What college credit can be earned through an AP course? Students writing an AP examination and earning a score of three or above may receive the equivalent of 4-8 college semester credit hours or 4-12 college quarter credit hours. Tests are scored on a 5-1 scale by a national committee.

5. What do AP exams cost and when are they taken? The fee is around $30 for each exam taken with testing usually administered the second or third week in May. Financial assistance is available in the Counseling Center.

Articulation: Some courses at Hutchinson High School have articulation agreements with MN Technical Colleges. If you obtain a grade of B or better in the class, you could earn college credit at Ridgewater or other MnSCU 2-year schools. These courses are identified as “Articulation “in the registration book.

College in the School:

The College in the School classes are taught by Hutchinson High School staff. College credit can be earned through 2 and 4 year colleges. Students must meet the PSEO requirements in order to register for these courses. These courses are identified as “COLLEGE CREDIT” in the registration book. Students MUST rank in the top ½ of their class as a senior, or top 1/3 of their class as a junior (CIS Horticulture and CIS Animal Science requires juniors to be in top ½ of their class).

Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource EducationAgriScience classes teach lifetime skills. Some students may go on to pursue careers in these areas, but most students will draw upon these skills all their lives. Students taking an AgriScience class may also become involved in FFA. Courses are designed for students in Grades 9 through 12 to explore the hundreds of opportunities and careers in the AgriScience, horticulture, animal science, and natural resources through hands-on experiences.

Business Education Course Offerings

The National Standards for Business Education are based on the conviction that business education competencies are essential for all students .

Because numerous career pathways list business classes as education and training requirements. Because all students will participate in the economic system, all students need to be literate in

business and economics. Because all students will encounter a business environment that is characterized by diversity—

both domestic and international—all students need to practice the interpersonal, teamwork, and leadership skills that will help them function successfully in that environment.

Because all students will use technology as a tool for managing information, all students need to hone the lifelong learning skills that foster flexible career paths and confidence in adapting to a workplace that demands constant retooling.*
