Prerequisite: GPA of 3.0 or higher.
This is a Dual Enrollment Course through Jefferson State Community College. Students that qualify for this course will receive both a high school history credit and college course credit for3 Semester Hours
Science
Physical Science (regular pathway; most students that took regular biology will take this course)
Pre-requisites: Completion of biology, any level
This course will satisfy the physical science requirement needed for graduation. This is a conceptual, inquiry-based course that provides students with an investigation of the basic concepts of chemistry and physics. Content standards covered in this course include matter and its interactions, forces and motion, energy and waves. This course is appropriate for students interested in a wide range of postsecondary options.
Human Anatomy and Physiology
This course is designed to address the structure and function of human body systems from the cellular level to the organism level. This course is appropriate for students interested in a wide range of postsecondary options.
Advanced Human Anatomy and Physiology
Pre-requisites: Completion of biology and chemistry/physical science, preferably at the advanced level
This course is for students who have an interest in pursuing a career in nursing, medicine or health related sciences. It is designed to address the structure and function of human body systems from the cellular level to the organism level. This course is encouraged for students interested in pursuing postsecondary education at the two-year or four-year level.
Math
Algebra I with Probability
Pre-requisites: Successful completion of Geometry with Data Analysis or Advanced Geometry with Data Analysis
NOTE: FULFILLS ONE OF THE FOUR MATHEMATICS CREDITS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION. Algebra I with Probability builds upon algebraic concepts studied in Grade 7 and Grade 8 Mathematics. It provides students with the necessary knowledge of algebra and probability for use in everyday life and in the subsequent study of mathematics. Algebra I with Probability is the second of three courses required for all students. Students may enroll in this course after completing Geometry with Data Analysis in Grade 9. Students who wish to accelerate their mathematics pathways in high school may also elect to enroll in Algebra I with Probability concurrently with Geometry with Data Analysis in the 9th grade.
Advanced Algebra I with Probability
Pre-requisites: Successful completion of Geometry with Data Analysis or Advanced Geometry with Data Analysis
NOTE: FULFILLS ONE OF THE FOUR MATHEMATICS CREDITS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION. Advanced Algebra I with Probability builds upon algebraic concepts studied in Grade 7 and Grade 8 Mathematics. It provides students with the necessary knowledge of algebra and probability for use in everyday life and in the subsequent study of mathematics. Advanced Algebra I with Probability is the second of three courses required for all students. Students may enroll in this course after completing Geometry with Data Analysis in Grade 9. Students who wish to accelerate their mathematics pathways in high school may also elect to enroll in Advanced Algebra I with Probability concurrently with Geometry with Data Analysis in the 9th grade.
Advanced Algebra II with Statistics - (only if student has successfully completed BOTH Accelerated Math 7 and Accelerated Math 8)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Geometry with Data Analysis and either Algebra I with Probability or the combination of the Grade 7 Accelerated Mathematics and Grade 8 Accelerated Mathematics course sequence.
NOTE: FULFILLS ONE OF THE FOUR MATHEMATICS CREDITS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION. Algebra II with Statistics builds on the students’ experiences in previous mathematics in Geometry with Data Analysis and Algebra I with Probability. It is the third of three required courses, and it is to be taken following the successful completion of Geometry with Data Analysis and either Algebra I with Probability or the combination of the Grade 7 Accelerated Mathematics and Grade 8 Accelerated Mathematics course sequence. It is the culmination of the three years of required mathematics content and sets the stage for continued study of topics specific to the student’s interests and plans beyond high school. Algebra II with Statistics is the prerequisite for Applications of Finite Mathematics, Mathematical Modeling, Precalculus, and all other approved ALSDE mathematics classes designed for completion of students’ fourth mathematics credit.
