SDL HSBP

This class is for seniors who are NOT taking ACGI, AP Government, or AP Gov/WTP at THS during their senior year. Typically, you would be a:

• Full time Running Start student

• Part-time Running Start student who is earning ACGI/AP Gov credit at the college

• Former Running Start student who already earned ACGI/AP Gov credit at the college

• A transfer student who already earned ACGI/AP Gov (Civics) credit at another school

• Students in unique situations who are not and will not take ACGI or AP Government at THS

HSBP may only be completed during senior year; juniors cannot complete the work early unless they are working with their counselor to graduate early. There is one exception: the community service assignment can be completed at any time during high school.

If you are a homeschool Running Start student, you do not need to do HSBP. Homeschool students do not earn a Tahoma High School diploma. If you wish to become a homeschool student because you don't want to do HSBP, contact your counselor.

SDL stands for Self-Directed Learner. Students who are not in a THS ACGI or AP Government class will need to be self-directed to complete the HSBP assignments required to earn a THS diploma. You will not earn credit, but you must pass each required assignment in order to earn a THS diploma. You will enroll in a class with Lara Lindersmith, which is where you get assignment information and submit your work for evaluation. 

Required

All assignments will be turned in to the "SDL HSBP" Google Classroom class that you will join after you pass the quiz in the "Take the Quiz" section.
