Other Things to Keep in Mind

The senior to sophomore program is changing. We will no longer refer to students enrolled in college classes at GHS as Seniors to Sophomores. All students enrolled in college classes – whether on campus or at Green High School – will be considered Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) students. Any college classes we are able to offer at Green High School will be placed on the course registration sheets that students will receive later this winter. Any student who intends to take college classes at GHS must apply and be accepted to Akron University or Stark State College of Technology as a PSEO student to enroll in these classes. More clarification about these changes will be addressed at the PSEO information sessions.
