SHH Course Registration Guide

The Smoky Hill High School Program of Study contains important information about the student course request process and the courses to be offered during the 2026-2027 school year. This information will be helpful as you select courses.

Each year, Smoky Hill High School creates a new master schedule based on data derived from the student course request process. The expectation is that these course requests represent decisions made collaboratively with the student, the student’s teachers and counselor, and the student’s parents. Based on these requests, courses are scheduled, faculty members are employed, textbooks are purchased, and classrooms are allocated.

Careful planning is essential to a successful and rewarding experience at Smoky Hill High School. A helpful resource will be your Academic Planning Guide to help you to complete the Cherry Creek School District and Smoky Hill High School graduation requirements. Parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators should all be involved in assisting you to develop a comprehensive plan allowing for variety, specific interests, and special preparation for the future. It is important to emphasize that your counselor is available to assist you in your course selections, but the final responsibility for course selections rests with you and your parents. We urge you to play an active role in this important task. We are here to help you.

POLICIES PERTAINING TO COURSE SELECTION:

1. Class Availability: While every effort will be made to provide the classes a student has selected during course selection, some classes may not be available due to student enrollment numbers, staffing, and budget.

2. Course Load: Ninth grade students are required to take seven classes per semester. Tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students are required to take six classes per semester. Regardless of your grade, district policy requires four of the classes to be in the core curriculum areas of English, social studies, mathematics, science, or world language. Students needing to take more than six classes because of specific program requirements must have permission from their counselor.

3. Course Selection & PowerSchool (9th-12th Grade): Students use the Course Selection Form to help map course selections prior to entering the selections into PowerSchool. If a student does not enter course selections into PowerSchool by the published deadline, a counselor will select classes for the student.

4. Schedule Repairs: Schedule repairs will be made by counselors prior to schedule distribution at fall student check-in. Schedule repairs are only granted by the counseling department for specific academic circumstances, so please select your courses wisely.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS INFORMATION

It is very important that students and parents begin early in the student’s high school career to consider general and specific requirements for college admissions. Admission requirements vary for each college, university, technical, art, or other post high school institution. These range from a high school diploma to four years of English, math, science, social studies, world language, and other specific courses. Although no single program of high school preparation will guarantee college admission, there are high school courses that will give students better preparation for the specific school they want to at- tend and will also give them better preparation for the college admissions tests. Generally speaking, the better the preparation in high school, the wider the choice of college upon graduation.

As a general guideline, the following areas and courses are considered important in preparing for college:

English:

Since colleges continue to place emphasis on the ability to write and express oneself clearly and accurately, writing and grammar courses should be included in your planning. Most colleges require four years of English.

Mathematics:

Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 are considered basic preparation by many colleges. Anyone contemplating a career related to math and science, such as engineering, should have eight semesters of high school math, including calculus.

Science:

At least six semesters of lab science is required; some colleges require as much as eight semesters, including one in biology and one in chemistry or physics. Anyone contemplating a career related to science should complete eight semesters of high school science.

Social Studies:

In addition to the Smoky Hill US History and Government requirements, many colleges recommend that students should have courses in history, geography, or other social studies. Some colleges require a total of six or more semesters of high school social studies.

World Language:

Colleges vary in this admission requirement. Many colleges require successful completion of two to four levels of the same world language. Students who successfully complete World Language requirements broaden their opportunities for admissions.

Other Courses:

Colleges are not only interested in the areas of English, math, science, social studies, and world language, but also in computer science, applied technology, fine arts, family and consumer sciences, and business/marketing which are offered at Smoky Hill High School. Although colleges place emphasis on academic subjects, the most selective colleges recognize achievement in all courses as well as in

co-curricular activities. Please refer to individual college admission standards for specific requirements.

Information regarding careers, college admissions, and post high school planning is available in the Post Graduate Center. Counselors are available to assist students with college and career planning or other post high school planning. Students are encouraged to meet with their counselor each year to discuss both their short- and long-range plans.

The AVID Classroom

The Advancement via Individual Determination program, better known as AVID, is designed to push students to a higher rigor at an appropriate pace, while providing in-class support through an AVID class. It is directed towards college bound students who would thrive by building strong relationships with their teachers and peers, while also adding successful college skills to their toolbox

The AVID class supports students through a variety of strategies. In the class, students work on skills such as time management, Cornell note taking, critical reading, research, collaboration, communication, inquiry, and organization. Teachers stress the importance of “writing as a tool for learning” and help support students through daily tutorials sessions led by trained tutors. The goal of the AVID tutorial session is to help students with the process of learning through inquiry, rather than giving students the answers to their questions. Students also learn the value of collaboration and develop skills in writing “higher order thinking questions,” according to Costa’s three levels of questioning.

The foundation of the AVID program is to prepare and motivate students for college. The AVID class activities emphasize test-taking skills and focus extensively on the math and English language concepts seen on standardized tests. Students have the opportunity to practice “mock” SAT and ACT exams, so they are fully prepared on test day. AVID classes also participate in motivational activities, including college and career research, community service-learning experiences, college fairs, leadership conferences, and college field trips to UNC, Metro, CSU, Mesa, Western State, Wyoming, DU, and CCS.

AVID and Elective Classes

AVID is a structured support program and not a separate curriculum. AVID students are open to a variety of electives based on their interest and current state requirements.

AVID and Advanced Placement (AP) Courses, Honors, and Concurrent Enrollment

AVID students are expected to increase their rigor of classes each year. One-on-one conferences with the student’s AVID teacher will help determine when students are ready to increase their rigor. All AVID students are expected to complete a minimum of one AP or concurrent enrollment class during high school. AP courses are offered grades 9-12.

*Students enrolled in MYP may take AVID.

AVID with Distinction

Students who are involved in AVID are eligible to receive a series of additional awards and scholarships specifically designed for AVID students. Some of these awards are listed below.

AVID with Distinction: Granted to AVID students who complete 40+ hours of community service, maintain a 2.5 GPA or better, and complete a minimum of one AP class and test.

SHHS AVID Scholarship: Students who complete 3 years of SHHS AVID are eligible to receive up to

$2000 from the SHHS AVID Scholarship Fund.

CCSD AVID Scholarship: Students who complete 3 years of AVID in CCSD are eligible to receive money from the CCSD AVID Scholarship Fund.

The Dell Scholars Program: Offered to those high school students participating in an approved AVID program. The funding for each Dell Scholar is $20,000.

Scholarship Application Assistance: The senior teacher and counselor work together to find other scholarships and assist students in their applications.

If you have any further questions regarding the SHHS AVID program and course offerings, please contact Brian Lee: blee41@cherrycreekschools.org

Smoky Hill High School offers numerous Concurrent Enrollment credit courses. The Concurrent Enrollment program creates options for students still in high school to receive both high school credit and college credit for Concurrent Enrollment classes. In partnership with our greater community, we are an extended campus of the Community College of Aurora (CCA) and Arapahoe Community College (ACC), Metropolitan State University (MSU).

Concurrent Enrollment college credit is subject to the student application to CCA/ACC, as well as course and teacher approval, prerequisites, and completion of all required registration steps by the majority of the class within the designated semester deadline. Courses may be subject to cancellation for Concurrent Enrollment college credit due to unforeseen changes.

Concurrent Enrollment courses prepare students for the rigor and culture of college. Students begin building a college transcript while they complete their high school graduation requirements. Students must receive a “C” or better to receive transferable college credit. College credits may transfer to a two or four year college or university. Students should check with the accepting institution for credit acceptance. Tuition is paid by Cherry Creek Schools and the College Opportunity Fund. All students must apply for the College Opportunity Fund (COF). The COF stipend pays a portion of a student’s tuition. All students must complete an application for the COF at https://cof.college-assist.org.

The major purpose of Advanced Placement (AP) courses is to give Smoky Hill students the opportunity to take college level classes which are challenging and thought provoking. At the same time, AP courses provide the chance for students to gain advanced placement and/or credit in the college of their choice.

 Advantages of taking AP classes:

• AP courses and exams begin the journey through college level academics.
• Collegiate institutions recognize that applicants with AP experience are better prepared for the demands of college.
• Tuition savings are realized for students whose AP exam grades are considered acceptable because of the credit and/or advanced placement granted by most US colleges.
• AP students are eligible for honors and other special programs in college.

Expectations for students enrolled in AP courses:

• Commitment to the time necessary to complete the rigorous coursework. Students should expect:
• All students must create a College Board account, as well as enroll in their course’s AP Classroom. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the student to select if they will take the exam in AP classroom.
• 1 ½ hours per class session and/or teacher led out-of-class AP study sessions. Some classes may also require summer homework.
• Enrollment in the course for the entire school year. The time commitment and depth of the content can sometimes be overwhelming; however, those are not reasons for dropping or transferring.

Let the State of Colorado pay for the first 2 years of your teaching degree.

The Teacher Recruitment Education and Preparation (TREP) program exists to create opportunities for qualified students, in an educator career pathway, to enroll in postsecondary courses for up to two years after the 12th grade year. Students might be interested in teaching, counseling, special education or other education related fields.

Students accepted into the TREP program will have tuition, fees and books paid for two years at participating community colleges/universities as identified by CCSD through the State of Colorado for courses in the educator career pathway. Students take all of their coursework at the college. Be Aware: The State of Colorado is reviewing the program. TREP decisions are usually made by the Colorado Legislature in very late May/early June.

Students accepted into the TREP program remain a CCSD student, as a senior, for two additional academic years. Students will receive their high school diploma upon completion of the TREP program with the graduation date of the year they exit TREP. They graduate "socially" (walk in graduation ceremony with their original graduating class). The State of Colorado caps the number of TREP students each year; those decisions are made in late May/early June each
year.

Part time (3-11 credit hours) and full time (12-16 credit hour) options are available.

A STUDENT IS ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR TREP IF THE STUDENT:

• Has taken one applicable concurrent enrollment course during senior year and earned college credit. Plans to pursue postsecondary studies in the field of education. (See QR code below for a list of courses.)
• Is college ready, and not in need of developmental education coursework in accordance with the education career pathway in which they enroll.
• Completes an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) prior to declaring intent to participate in TREP.
• Applies to, and is accepted into, a postsecondary program to continue on an approved educator pathway at a Colorado institution of higher education approved by CCSD. (Metro, UNC, ACC, CCA, CCD, RRCC)
• Applies for FAFSA/CASFA
• Is entering the TREP program in the year immediately following the student’s 4th year of high school.
• Upon entry to the TREP program, has not been designated a TREP program participant in any prior year (can only participate in TREP for 2 academic years).
• Is in good academic standing (minimum Grade Point Average of 2.0 in postsecondary coursework) and remains enrolled in an applicable educator pathway in order to participate in year 2 of the TREP program.

Visit to Apply February 1 - March 31, 2026. Also to see list of required coursework in senior year for eligibility.
