High School Course Catalog for Grade 9 (2012)
The Georgia Department of Education adopted new graduation requirements effective fall 2008 for students entering ninth grade. Students currently in high school are not affected by these new requirements. |
High School Course Catalog for Grade 10-12 (through 2011)
For graduating classes through 2011, Georgia offers two types of diplomas, Technology/Career Preparatory and College Preparatory. The requirements for the diplomas are similar with the Technology/Career Prep courses being taught as real-world, hands-on courses and the College Prep courses being taught in a more traditional manner. Students, with parental approval, will select courses in which to enroll each year. The selections should be based on needs, abilities, graduation requirements and plans following high school. Graduation from Columbia County Schools will be based on meeting attendance guidelines; passing all required sections of the Georgia High School Graduation Exam; earning Carnegie units of credit as specified through state and local policy; completing a Senior Project; and at least completing one of the required programs of study.
Students desiring to attend post-secondary school, either technical school or college should determine the particular entrance requirements for the post-secondary school in which they are interested and should register for the courses needed. Special attention should be given to the areas of mathematics, science and foreign language, since post-secondary requirements may vary in those areas.
