must plan well. The se-

quence and continuity of

a student ’ s high school

courses may very well

determine whether the

student is accepted for

college or not ( see Di-

ploma Requirements ) ,

or whether a student is

able to obtain employ-

ment following high

school graduation.

Southmont requires

a minimum of 46

credits to graduate.

A Core 40 Diploma is the

minimum requirement for

students to graduate in the

state of Indiana. Indiana ’ s

Core 40 curriculum provides

the academic foundation all

students need to succeed in

college and the workforce.

To graduate with less than

Core 40, students and par-

ents, along with school per-

sonnel, must complete a

formal opt-out process.

All students must take a

Math or quantitative rea-

soning course each year in

high school.

Southmont High School pro-

vides over 150 course selec-

tions to give students an oppor-

tunity to select those subject

areas which best match their

needs, interest, and abilities. A

description of all courses of-

fered is provided on our web-

site at

Read these carefully. Certain

courses must be successfully

completed in order to receive a

high school diploma. Not every

course is offered each year or

trimester, nor is every course

open to all grade levels. Thus

it is extremely important that

students give careful consider-

ation to program planning.

REMINDERS

Students must be enrolled in and passing five (5) full credit courses to participate in sports, co-

curricular activities, and to receive and keep a work permit.

All student schedule changes

must be finalized by the end of the school year.

Students are reclassified when they fail to maintain the number of credits necessary for them to

graduate in four years.

GRADING SYSTEM (4 point scale)

A = 4

A- = 3.67

B+ = 3.33

B = 3

B- = 2.67

C+ = 2.33

C = 2

C- = 1.67

D= = 1.33

D = 1

D- = .67

F = 0

Only full credit subjects are used in computing G.P.A. The G.P.A. is determined by dividing the total

number of points earned by the number of credits attempted. Certain academic courses are

weighted by adding an additional 1 point for the 4 point system.

Weighted courses are AP Studio Art, AP Language Composition,

AP Computer Science Principles, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus,

AP Calculus A/B, Dual Credit Chemistry,

Dual Credit Biology, and Dual Credit U.S. History.

The following courses are excluded from G.P.A.: Drivers Education and SAE classes.

HONOR ROLL POLICY

Only full credit subjects will be used in computing class standing for honor roll.

The honor roll shall be computed on the point system above.

When the point total is determined it shall be divided by the number of credits attempted to arrive

at the total. The following courses are excluded from the grade point G.P.A. : Drivers Education and

SAE classes. When the point total is determined it shall be divided by the number of credits

attempted to arrive at the total with the exception of the following classes which are not included

in G.P.A.: SAE.

Any person with a “B” or above on a 4 point scale shall be on the honor roll for that grading period

or that trimester.

If a student has below a “C” in any subject, he/she shall not be on the honor roll.

A student must be a full-time student to be eligible for the honor roll.

The weighted courses previously listed receive an additional weight of 1 point on the four point

scale when the honor roll and rank in class is computed.

Grade 11-12

The Career Exploration Internship course is a paid or unpaid work experience in the public or private sector

that provides for workplace learning in an area of student career interest. Unlike a cooperative education

program in which students gain expertise in a specific occupation, the career exploration internship is intended

to expose students to broad aspects of a particular industry or career cluster area by rotating through a variety of

work sites or departments. In addition to their workplace learning activities, students participate in 1) regularly

scheduled meetings with their classroom teacher, or 2) a regularly scheduled seminar with the teacher for the

purpose of helping make the connection between academic learning and their work-related experiences.

51

Specific instructional standards tied to the career cluster or pathway and learning objectives for the internship

must be written to clarify the expectations of all parties—the student, parent, employer, and instructor.

Recommended Prerequisite: Preparing for College and Careers; Career Information and

Exploration

This course may be taken for additional semesters to allow students to explore additional career

areas.

A minimum of 85 hours of workplace and classroom activities are required for one credit; 170

hours are required for two credits. Of the 85 or 170 hours, 18 to 36 hours (at least 1 hour a

week or the equivalent over a semester or year) must be spent in related classroom instruction.

Schools on block schedules may proportionately adjust the total number of hours per week to

meet the local standard, provided that students spend at least one hour a week in classroom

activities.

Counts as a Directed Elective or Elective for all diplomas
