Course Levels
College/Career Prep
Oen referred to as “regular” courses, this coursework will help to prepare you for graduaon from high
school by geng you ready for coursework at the next level or the career eld. These courses create the
framework for graduaon requirements and the unweighted GPA coursework.
Honors
Honors courses are designed to provide more academic rigor and will therefore demonstrate to college
admissions ocers your willingness to challenge yourself. Their increased rigor will also prepare you for the
courses you will encounter in a college seng. In addion, when you do well in an honors course, you let
college admissions ocers know how you will do in a college level course. Select an honors course if you are
looking to increase the academic rigor of your high school program. Honors courses are oered in all core
academic areas and many elecve areas so you can select the content areas you wish to increase rigor. These
courses are the rst level of weighted GPA coursework.
Advanced Placement
AP courses also provide even more academic rigor than Honors courses. They can demonstrate to college
admissions ocers not only your ability to handle college-level courses, but also your willingness to take on a
challenge. These courses are designed to prepare students for the AP exams that accompany the course.
Earning a 3 on the exam will demonstrate your competence in the subject and will earn you college credit in
some colleges. These courses require nightly reading and, in most courses, extensive wring assignments or
projects. These courses are the next level of weighted GPA coursework.
Dual Enrollment
Like AP, Dual Enrollment courses are college level courses. The main dierence is that you take the courses
through actual college instuons, so you get a head start on your college coursework while enrolled in high
school. DE courses are FREE so successful compleon can save you money on college tuion. Dual Enrollment
courses can be completed with Valencia College, UCF, or UF (online) and courses available vary by college.
These courses also require nightly reading and, in most courses, extensive wring assignments. They receive
the same amount of weighted GPA points as AP courses.

Students who earn a D or F grade in a course may retake the course or a similar course to improve this grade.
This higher grade (C or beer) will be calculated for the student’s GPA. However, the original grade will remain
on the student transcript.
Class Rank
Class rank is computed by the Student Informaon System for all students at the compleon of each semester.
Class ranks are computed for both weighted and unweighted course grades. Weighted GPAs are used to
determine the valedictorian and salutatorian in Osceola County.

Scheduling Policies & Procedures
Scheduling Procedures
Planning for next year’s classes is an important decision involving numerous factors. This guide is designed to
help you take an acve role in this process. It highlights the numerous educaonal opons oered at
Celebraon High School and provides brief program and course descripons, prerequisites, and other
informaon pernent to this process. Please understand that it is very important that you choose classes for
the upcoming year that will not only interest you, but that will challenge you as well. Students are encouraged
to make careful decisions when selecting courses, as schedule changes are done on a very limited basis once
school begins. While every effort is made to give students their top choices for courses, back up choices will be
used in the event if a scheduling conflict, so they too should be selected carefully.
Follow these steps to ensure a successful school year:
1. CONSIDER your plans past graduaon -- College? Military? Career? Technical School?
2. READ this Curriculum Guide carefully and consider all opons.
3. REVIEW the graduaon requirements on pages 8-10.
4. PAY ATTENTION to which requirements you have already completed, and which courses you sll need to
take next year. Consider prerequisites that need to be taken rst, as well as courses which need to be
repeated because of lost credit. Be sure to also consider past performance in similar coursework.
5. VERIFY your completed courses and test scores in FOCUS. Select appropriate course levels (standard,
honors, or AP).
6. CHOOSE your elecves (check for any prerequisites).
7. TALK to your parents, teachers, and School Counselor about your course selecons.
8. SELECT courses that will fulll your goals for the future.
Schedule Change Policy
Once students have their scheduling meeng with their school counselor, the scheduling process has begun.
For the academic benet of the student and to limit the number of mes a student’s schedule is changed –
very few schedule changes will be made. Please read further for informaon on the Add/Drop period and
criteria for schedule correcons before the school year.
Please Note: The CHS Administraon reserves the right to make schedule changes based on class size. The Florida Class Size
Amendment may require balancing of courses aer the school year begins and may impact student schedules. Students may also be
required by Florida law or school district policy to take remediaon courses based on standardized test scores from the FSA Tests
and/or Florida EOC Assessments. Courses in this curriculum guide may also be dropped if there is not sucient demand for them.
12
Add/Drop Window
Schedules for the upcoming school are typically released in late July (date to be announced). If a student
needs to discuss or request a correcon to their schedule (see criteria below) they will be allowed to schedule
an appointment with their counselor (dates & mes to be determined) during the Add/Drop window.
Note:
• Schedule corrections will be considered based on the criteria below
• There will be no add/drop once the school year has begun.
• A request may require an entire schedule to be altered to meet the request you have made -Including
different teachers and different class periods
Updates will be granted for the following reasons:
Updates will not be granted for the following reasons:
· Duplicate Course
· Credit already received for the course
· Course prerequisites not met
· Course needed for graduation
· Course passed in summer school
· Course level incorrect (i.e. Standard, Honors, AP)
· Desire for a different teacher
· Desire for a different lunch period
· Course credit not required
· Desire to raise GPA
· Do not like elective
· Failure to complete summer assignment
Schedule Change Requests During the School Year
Only administrative schedule changes will be permitted during the school year. Administrative approval to
drop a course during the school year will not be permitted unless the followed has occurred:
• Student has participated in Surge Interventions
• Student has attended tutoring if available or utilized additional resources available
• Student/Parent/Teacher conference with the school counselor has taken place
• Note: Fees may apply for dropping an AP course after exam registration has occurred
Shortened/Paral Day Schedules
Shortened schedules will only be available for seniors, upon request. Additionally, students must meet
specific requirements including a minimum GPA, be on track for graduation, etc., as approved by your School
Counselor and an Administrator.
13
Virtual Courses
Online Course Graduaon Requirement
Under Florida’s Digital Learning Act all students must complete one full high school level virtual course as a
requirement for graduaon. This course may be either a 0.5 credit course or a 1 credit course and is typically
completed within the 24 credits required for a standard diploma.
The preferred provider for virtual courses is the Osceola Virtual School (OVS) which oers a wide variety of
free high school courses.
Virtual courses oer students the exibility of compleng graduaon requirements in their own me
(including summer) and the chance to explore their personal interests in courses that may not be available at
CHS. Students can work independently (self-paced) but should follow the regular school calendar.
We strongly recommend that all CHS students have this requirement met prior to entering 12th grade. Failure
to follow this meline may result in the student be idened as at-risk for on-me graduaon. Contact your
guidance counselor for assistance with this requirement.

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a program designed to prepare students in the academic
middle for four-year college. The AVID curriculum, based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle and
senior high school teachers in collaboration with college professors. It is driven by the WICOR method, which
stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. AVID targets students in the academic middle — B, C,
and even D students — who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These are
students who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum but are falling short of their potential. Typically,
they will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are from low-income or minority families.
AVID pulls these students out of their unchallenging courses and puts them on the college track: acceleration
instead of remediation.
NOTE: This program requires completion of a separate application.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Program
What is the IB Diploma Programme?
The Diploma Programme (DP) is a curriculum framework designed by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students in
the last two years of high school. IB Students graduating with the IB diploma are able to study at universities all around
the world, often with advanced credit. Students report that their involvement with the IB has given them the tools
needed to succeed at college. In particular, students comment on their sense of preparedness, self-confidence, research
skills and their ability to manage their time. Even more important, they have developed a sense of the world around
them and their responsibility to it.
How do colleges and universities view the Diploma Programme?
The Diploma Programme is internationally recognized as representing one of the highest standards in university
preparatory education. More than 1,000 colleges and universities in North America have recognition policies on how
they weight it in admissions, advanced standing, college credit and scholarships.
Is the IB Programme a good fit for you?
The IB Programme is a rigorous course of study for motivated students. That said, prior academic success is less an
indicator of ability to earn the diploma than are a student’s determination to do his or her best, willingness to be
