Select your courses carefully after serious consideration to your course background, abilities and post-graduate plans. The course schedule you select should meet graduation requirements and challenge you academically.

The following grade weight policy is:

• Advanced Placement classes will be weighted on a 5-point scale in computing grade point averages

• Accelerated classes will be weighted on a 4.5-point scale

• Courses termed “honors” will be noted on the high school transcript as such, but will receive no additional grade weight.

Concurrent enrollment allows outstanding junior and senior high school students to take credit-earning college courses. If you are a junior or senior in high school, you may enroll in college courses if you meet the admission requirements and other conditions. High school seniors who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive tuition waivers for up to 18 credit hours. For more information about concurrent enrollment, contact your high school counselor.

Determining academic schedules should be for the growth of the student. Therefore, changes for such reasons as to have the student moved to a class generally below the intellectual capability of the student, a student’s failure due to incomplete assignments, “to be with a friend” or “that the teacher is too hard” will not be considered a serious enough reason to cause a schedule change.

Schedule changes are permitted through the first eight (8) days of the semester. Schedule changes will be considered for legitimate reasons such as a schedule conflict, meeting graduation requirements or inappropriate placement as determined and recommended by a teacher or counselor with administrative approval.

Any change after the first eight  (8) days of a semester requires administrative approval. See procedures for the appeal process for a change of schedule after the deadline.

Students will be notified at the beginning of each semester when Schedule Change Forms are available in the counseling office. Please note that all schedule change forms require a parent/guardian signature.

Valid Reason for Schedule Changes:

• schedule is incomplete

• duplicate course has been scheduled

• course is scheduled for which the prerequisite course has not been completed

• schedule requires altering due to student’s acceptance into a special program- (alternative school, concurrent, career tech, etc.). Students must bring a copy of documentation verifying enrollment into the special program before changes are made.

• course is scheduled with a teacher with whom the student has previously failed

• Student elects to enroll in a more challenging course (no reversal at a later date)

Appeal Process for a Change of Teacher:

A conference with parent, student, teacher, and an administrator is required. During this conference, the problem/ concern is discussed and a plan should be made by which the student and teacher can solve the problem/concern through mutual effort. The plan must be in effect for a minimum of six weeks.

If the parent feels the above plan has not been successful, he or she may write a letter to the principal, describing efforts the student has made to meet the specifications of the plan and why they have not solved the problem.

The principal will determine, based on the letter from the parent and an interview with the student and the teacher, as to whether a problem exists and a change is in the best interest of the student.

Information coming soon as a result of recent law changes applying to graduation requirements for students in Oklahoma. Questions can be answered by High School Counselors. 

All students shall be required to receive instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the awareness of the purpose of an automated external defibrillator at least once between ninth and high school graduation. A school administrator may waive this requirement for an eligible student who has a disability. A student may also be excused from this requirement if a parent or guardian of the student objects in writing.

Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, students must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to graduate from a public high school. Additional Information from the State Department of Education.

Beginning with Class of 2025, the US Naturalization test is required. Students must correctly answer 60/100 questions to graduate. OAAP students are exempt.

All students with a 3.970 (no rounding of points) through 3.999, with no grade lower than a B, will be salutatorians. This is computed from a seven (7) semester transcript.

Students coming from out-of-state/out-of-country institutions with transfer grades that can only be transcripted as “P” may be eligible for valedictorian/salutatorian consideration only with administrative approval.

Students with weighted GPAs, which fall within the designated range for valedictorian/salutatorian, will be removed from consideration for the following:

• one (1) or more semesters of grades of “P,” which may be transcripted from out-of-state/out-of-country transfer grades, unless administration approval is granted fewer than seven (7) semesters of grades, unless on a six (6) semester early graduation contract

An ICAP is a multi-year process that intentionally guides students and families in the exploration of career, academic and post-secondary opportunities. With the support of adults, students develop the awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and skills to create their own meaningful and powerful pathways to be career and college ready. A personalized ICAP, simply put, is a “roadmap” that guides individuals through the coursework and activities for achieving personal career goals. An ICAP connects student’s high school and post-secondary educational experiences.

Students planning on playing or participating in college athletics should enroll in the clearinghouse by the end of their junior year. Students must take a prescribed set of courses, take the ACT or SAT and maintain an approved GPA. Go to www.ncaa.org for further information or http://eligibilitycenter.org to register. Please note: It is the responsibility of the student/parent to notify their counselor if they have registered with the NCAA. Counselors will assist students tracking the necessary coursework for eligibility; however, you, the student, are ultimately responsible for completing all of the requirements of the program.

The Oklahoma Legislature through the Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP) has set up a fund that will pay for your college tuition if your parents’ total yearly income does not exceed sixty thousand dollars. You may enroll during 8th, 9th, 10th grade, or 11th; however, all applications must be completed and received no later than June 30 of the stu- dent’s junior year. Parents and students may apply online at http://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/.

Scholarship opportunities are listed on the counseling webpage of the Mustang High School Website. You can find the counseling webpage by going to http://www.mustangps.org/counseling. It is the responsibility of the student and parent to find and apply for scholarships, but to make it easier we have provided multiple links to individual scholarships as well as links to other sites to assist in the search for scholarships.
