  17. High School Grading System

  18. Choosing Quality/Rigor – AP • The College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level classes that you can take while still in high school. They offer challenging course work and a taste of what college classes are like. (https://apstudent.collegeboard.org) • The benefits of taking AP courses are: • To stand out in college admissions (Choosing rigor & building your GPA) • To earn college credit • To skip introductory courses in college • North Lenoir offers 7 AP courses: • AP English Language and Composition • AP English Literature and Composition • AP Calculus AB • AP Calculus BC • AP Statistics • AP Biology • AP Environmental Science See NLHS Most Rigorous Course Options in your packet (page 5)

  19. Choosing Quality/Rigor – CCP • Career and College Promise (CCP) is a program for current high school students in the 11th or 12th grade that have a 3.0+ GPA. • CCP are college-level classes taken through Lenoir Community College. Students can earn college credits as well as high school credits. • CCP courses listed on the General Education College Transfer Pathways will transfer to a 4-year college/university with a grade earned of “C” or better. • Some CCP courses substitute/supplant graduation required courses. • CCP as well as AP courses carry the highest quality points (5.0) and help build a strong grade point average (GPA). Students should plan to take a mixture of AP and CCP courses. See NLHS Most Rigorous Course Options in your packet (page 5)

  22. Registration • Review the Guide for Course Selections book closely – a copy is online at www.lenoir.k12.nc.us • Review the Registration Sheet (copy in your packet – pages 10-11)and adhere to the directions outlined: • Students should select 8 first choice courses including the minimum 5 required (English, math, science, social studies, and Health/PE) • Students should choose 3 elective courses and 3 alternate elective courses • All math and honors/AP level courses must be approved by your current middle school teachers • Use the Graduation Requirements List (page 3 in your packet) when selecting courses.
