The Choices are Yours
The choices that you make today will have an impact on what you do as an adult, so…

The counselors, administrators and teachers of LDISD are here to help you make the best choices possible.

But first, let’s learn about a High School Diploma.
![Page 9: Presented by the Lake Dallas High School Academic Center 2011 8th Grade Family Night Welcome PARENTS of the CLASS OF 2015!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de95503460f94ae48c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In high school, classes are counted as credits. Classes are worth a half credit per semester. A two semester class is one full credit. Some classes are one semester and count as a half credit.
What’s a credit?
![Page 10: Presented by the Lake Dallas High School Academic Center 2011 8th Grade Family Night Welcome PARENTS of the CLASS OF 2015!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de95503460f94ae48c1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You must earn 27 credits to graduate from LDHS. You can earn 8 credits each year. It’s possible to earn 32 credits in four years. Most graduates earn 30 credits or more by passing all classes.
How many credits do I need to graduate?

Graduations Requirements.4 credits of math4 credits of science4 credits of english4 credits of social studies2 credits of a foreign language1 computer credit1 fine arts credit1 health/speech credit1 ½ P.E. credits
What if I fail a class or miss a credit?
If you fail a class, you have the opportunity to
recover the credit during Tier II at the end of the
school year. If the credit is not earned during Tier II, you will need to attend
Summer School.
![Page 12: Presented by the Lake Dallas High School Academic Center 2011 8th Grade Family Night Welcome PARENTS of the CLASS OF 2015!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de95503460f94ae48c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A prerequisite is a required class that must be taken BEFORE you take another class. Example: you must take Art 1 before you can take ceramics, painting, photography, or any other advanced art class. Art 1 is a prerequisite to the advanced art classes.
What is a Prerequisite?
![Page 13: Presented by the Lake Dallas High School Academic Center 2011 8th Grade Family Night Welcome PARENTS of the CLASS OF 2015!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de95503460f94ae48c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A Pre-AP class is one that is more challenging in subject material and depth of study. Pre-AP courses are prerequisites for AP classes in most subject areas. AP courses are available to grades 10-12.
What is a Pre-AP class?
![Page 14: Presented by the Lake Dallas High School Academic Center 2011 8th Grade Family Night Welcome PARENTS of the CLASS OF 2015!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de95503460f94ae48c1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What’s a Dual Credit Course?
Dual credit courses are those that will earn both high school and college credit. We offer dual credit courses (online and with an instructor) on LDHS campus, while others can be taken on the college campuses of NCTC , UNT, or TWU. You will be eligible for these classes during the summer after your sophomore year.

Elective choices reflect a student’s personal preferences and abilities. Requirements are classes that all students must take in order to graduate.
What’s the difference between a required class and an
elective?
