February 9, 2015
Dear Sandusky High School Student and Parent:
Enclosed is the 2015/2016 Sandusky High School Course Curriculum Guide. The Course
Curriculum Guide is one of the most important documents in our school, as it lists and gives
descriptions to all the courses offered at Sandusky High School. This document is a guide to
your selection of courses as you plan for graduation and beyond. Please make certain to read
and understand all the course descriptions and requirements for the courses before selecting a
schedule. Your parents, counselor, administrators and teachers can become part of the process
to assist you in selecting the correct schedule. Make sure to choose courses that will be
challenging and provide for the best opportunity for success in progressing towards graduation
and beyond.
This curriculum guide focuses on the wide variety of courses and programming offered for our
student body, including the traditional program, honors, advanced placement courses, career
technical education and offerings surrounding our College and Career Major Program and the
Visual and Fine Arts Program.
Before the course selections are final, all prerequisite conditions for the courses must be met.
Once courses are selected, students will meet individually with a counselor to review the
proposed schedule. A confirmation of the schedule will be given in May of 2015. Schedule
changes are not permitted once this process is complete, unless there are special
circumstances that require individual attention. Please refer to the description of the Schedule
Change/Class Drop Policy that is in this guide.
The proper scheduling of courses can be one of the most critical steps in a high school student’s
academic development and achievement. Our staff is dedicated to providing the proper support
and structure to this process for all students. The time our students spend in high school is filled
with excitement, personal growth, and preparation for the future. We want our students and
parents to make choices that will lead to the most challenging, productive and satisfying
educational program possible.
Respectfully,
Dr. Theodore Caleris
Principal
Sandusky High School

The Course Curriculum Guide provides information on graduation requirements, honor diplomas, college/career
readiness curriculums, and eligibility standards for college-bound athletes. Course selection includes consideration
of prerequisite coursework for Advanced Placement courses and/or Career Tech programs. Students and parents
are encouraged to familiarize themselves with this guide in preparation for registration. A four-year outline is
provided on the last page of the guide for your convenience.
Important Dates
February 9 – February 13, 2015
Pre-Register in English Classes
February 16 – March 27, 2015
Counselor Appointments/Requests verified
The Registration Process
Step One: Counselors meet with all students in English class to complete pre-registration sheets and four-year
plan. Each student receives a Course Selections Guide detailing graduation requirements and course descriptions
offered at Sandusky High School.
Step Two: Between February 2 and March 27 students are assigned individual meetings with their counselor to
discuss course selection for the 2015-16 school year. Teachers provide the counselors recommendations for
academic coursework to assist with course selection.
The course registration form and verification form are completed during this meeting. Each student
receives a verification form indicating classes selected for review. Parents are requested to contact their
th
child’s counselor prior to March 27 , if they wish to discuss their child’s course requests.
Course Changes are Difficult to Make
The courses selected by students and parents determine the number of sections needed for each course, room
assignments, textbooks, supplies and faculty for the 2015-16 school year. No course requests are permitted after
March 27, 2015, unless one of the following criteria is met:
1. A computer error is made in the student’s schedule.
2. A teacher and parent request a level change for an academic course. Level changes are made only if class
enrollment permits. An application for level change must be completed and submitted to the guidance
department.
3. Level changes for Advanced Placement (AP) courses are initiated strictly by the teacher of record and only
when the student is academically misplaced.
Note: Schedule changes are difficult to make and require the student and parent to obtain approval from the High
School Principal. If a student decides to drop a class at any time during the school year, the consequence is a
failing grade (F) for the course.

only minimum requirements and does not guarantee admissions. Final admission decisions rest on a variety of
factors. Students should challenge themselves academically and take advantage of all opportunities their high
school provides.

Engineering Technology: A two-year program designed to prepare students for a career and college degree in one
of the many engineering fields, with emphasis on mechanical engineering and architectural fields. In 2011, SHS
joined a national engineering curriculum called Project Lead the Way (PLTW) that offers several high school level
engineering programs for grades 10 -12. Throughout PTLW, students will learn and apply the design process,
acquire strong teamwork and communication proficiency, and develop organizational, critical-thinking, and problemsolving skills.
We have just acquired a new Video Game Design Software program that employs the STEM and design
processes mentioned previously. Students will use all of the engineering, design and creativity process to design a
game that may take weeks to create. Keep in mind that designing a game and playing a game is NOT the
same thing. Completed game design programs are X-Box compatible, so finished game designs can saved and be
played at home.
Students will use the same industry-leading AutoCAD 3D design software used by companies like Intel and
Lockheed Martin. Topics include mechanisms, energy, statics, materials, and robotics. Students will also learn
about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture and apply their knowledge to the design and
development of residential and commercial properties and structures.

This course covers the basic requirements for licensing which includes bacteriology, sanitation, facials, manicures,

The 12th grade cosmetology student will receive further experience in essential basic skills with a major part of the
year devoted to practicing on live models or clientele. It is important that the student have a complete knowledge of
the sciences and basic skills at the completion of the course so that they pass the Ohio State Board Examination
and be licensed as a cosmetologist.
