Introduction The purpose of this guide is to help you and your parents make better decisions concerning your course

selections for the coming year. It is essential that you think seriously about a particular subject before

scheduling it. It is also important to use this booklet for an overall plan for your entire school career. Each

class that you choose should be a part of an overall plan. Read this guide carefully and discuss your plans with

your parents.

Counselors A counselor is assigned to you and will work with you concerning your academics, vocational and career

information, college and scholarship counseling, personal challenges, testing, written recommendations, and

references, etc. You would be well advised to communicate your unique interests, abilities, needs, and

ambitions to your counselor.

It is important to understand that the role of the counseling staff is to advise students. Students and their

parents/guardians assume full responsibility for the coursework scheduled. Though the school personnel will

attempt to locate and correct any errors, it is the students’ and their parents’ responsibility to select the courses,

keep copies of records and plan their schedule to meet all requirements for graduation. Also parents and

students have the responsibility to check the requirements for the college of their choice and schedule

coursework accordingly.

End-Of-Course (EOC) The Louisiana Department of Education has initiated an EOC assessment program to support consistent and

rigorous standards in key high school courses. All students must pass three EOC exams in the following

categories to graduate with either the TOPS University Diploma or the TOPS Tech Diploma: (a) English II or

English III; (b) Algebra I or Geometry; and © Biology or U.S. History.

Dual Enrollment Program (DE) Dual Enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school students, currently attending St. Tammany Parish

public or private schools, to concurrently enroll in a college course. The credits that students earn will be

eligible towards both a high school diploma and college credit. To be eligible for the Early Start/Dual

Enrollment Program, please see the “Eligibility Guidelines” for each institution in this Program of Study.

High School Graduation Options

Louisiana TOPS University Curriculum The successful completion of the Louisiana TOPS University Diploma Curriculum requires a minimum of 24

units in specific courses as detailed in this Program of Study. Students who successfully complete this

curriculum will have completed the minimum required curriculum as a component of TOPS eligibility as well

as Louisiana public university freshman entrance requirements. Eligibility for TOPS as well as entrance to

Louisiana public universities also relies on earning and minimum required GPA as well as minimum required

act composite scores and scores.

Louisiana TOPS Tech curriculum TOPS Tech is the state's new initiative for school districts, colleges, and businesses to collaborate in providing

career courses and workplace experiences to high school students allowing them to continue their education

after high school, certifying them for career fields most likely to lead to high wage jobs. While in high school

participating students will be provided more time during the school day to achieve industry certificates or

college credentials and in addition to their high school diplomas. These credentials will qualify graduates to

continue their studies after high school at a community or technical college or to launch a career upon

graduating. Students completing the TOPS Tech Curriculum must complete a TOPS Tech Pathway including

nine pathway elective credits for a total of 23 high school credits, and at least one industry based certification

for the chosen pathway.

Short Day for Seniors Since a seven-period day schedule has been funded to enhance educational opportunities for high school

students it is the intent of the St. Tammany Parish School District to have students complete four years of high

school education. It is strongly recommended that students who wish to get an early start in college participate

in Early Start/Dual Enrollment courses or Advanced Placement courses. Seniors are required to enroll in 5

classes for credit during both semesters in their senior year. If they choose to request a short day, applications

are in the school counseling office. Seniors must have a minimum of 19 credits and athletes cannot schedule

short day in the afternoon.

Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) The Louisiana Department of Education requires every students to develop, with the input of his/her parent/

guardian, an IGP by the end of the eighth grade. The purpose of the IGP document includes: explorer

educational and career opportunities, make appropriate secondary/post-secondary decisions as part of an overall

career plan, outline a course of study based on the student’s talents and interests, and considerate graduation

requirements relevant to the student’s chosen area of concentration and post-secondary requirements. The

student, parent/guardian, and counselor will review the plan annually.

Louisiana Tuition Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) This program awards college, university, or state technical college tuition to Louisiana high school graduates at

a Louisiana college or university meet specific academic standards. To receive the TOPS awards, students

must earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in the core curricula courses (see TOPS Core

Curriculum) and score a 20 on the ACT or greater than the state prior-year average. The annual award

amount varies since it is based on the amount of tuition charged by individual institutions. TOPS offers four

award programs: Opportunity, Performance, Honors, and Tops Tech. The application for the TOPS award

begins with filing the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form must be filed within

the deadlines for priority consideration to avoid penalties. A FAFSA form may be electronically completed

as early as October at www.fafsa.ed.gov. It is the student and parent’s responsibility to fill out the FAFSA

form and to meet the required deadlines. For more information, go to www.losfa.gov .

points will be assigned to a letter grade of “C”, two quality points will be assigned to a letter grade of “D”, and zero quality points will be assigned to a letter grade of “F”. Note that students earning credit in courses graded on the five (5.00) point scale may earn a grade point average on the

TOPS Core Curriculum that exceeds 4.00.
