you meet the prerequisites, and that you keep high school graduation requirements and career objectives in
mind. This guide is designed to aid you in making appropriate choices by providing brief program and course
descriptions, prerequisites, and other information related to this process. In order to complete registration
successfully, you are urged to follow the steps identified below:
1. READ the curriculum guide carefully.
2. REVIEW the list of graduation requirements and determine which requirements have been met and
which courses need to be taken next year. Consider courses which need to be repeated because of lost

3. TALK to your parents and teachers about course selections and appropriate academic levels (general,
honors, advanced studies, or vocational) as determined by your classroom teacher.
 General – These courses are designed for in-depth instruction that challenges students. These
classes are suitable for all students.

highly motivated students who wish to pursue potential college credit in high school.
 Vocational – These courses are designed to prepare students for employment and/or postsecondary education in a career of their choice.
4. SELECT courses that will correspond to or complement your goals for the future.
Course selection represents a commitment on the part of the student and parent to complete the
schedule of classes chosen; however, requests for schedule changes will be considered for the following
reasons:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Scheduling error (example – request Algebra I and receive Algebra II)
Failure to complete a prerequisite course or requirement
Graduation or college requirement omitted from schedule
Special programs requiring unique schedules (examples – choral, instrumental, vocational,
Exceptional Student Education, dual enrollment, Advanced Placement, AICE)
e. Summer School course completion (if summer school is available)
Special Note: Administration reserves the right to make necessary changes based on class size and teacher

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
NICEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL EMAIL SYSTEM
Become a part of the Niceville High School email
notification system! Many students, parents, and
community leaders are now receiving emails reminding
them of upcoming events at Niceville High School.
Parents are receiving their emails at home and at work.
The new incoming 9th Grade Email System is designed to
keep incoming students updated throughout the spring
and summer. If you would like to be a part of the NHS
email family, follow the instructions below:






Go to www.NicevilleHighSchool.org;
Click “Email List” link on left side of home page;
Select “Email Registration” link;
Type first and last name, e-mail address;
Select “Incoming 9th grade list” to receive email.
Submit.
Extracurricular activities include any after-school, schoolsponsored activities, such as athletic competitions,
musical performances, school dances, and club meetings.
Many activities require a cumulative 2.0 GPA for
participation.
SELECTION OF HONOR GRADUATES
A district-weighted grade point average will be used to
calculate class rank and honors designations. At the end
of the seventh semester for 24-credit graduates and the
end of the fifth semester for the 18-credit graduates,
honor graduates will be determined by the following
scale:
Summa Cum Laude
Magna Cum Laude
Cum Laude
4.5 and above
4.2 – 4.49
4.0 – 4.19
In order to be considered an honors graduate, students
must be enrolled in the same year-long course at the
same level and receive a grade for the eighth semester or
have completed their four required courses by the end of
the seventh semester.
COMPETITIVE SPORTS
Below is a list of competitive sports/teams students may
participate in at NHS. The majority of NHS sports require
a tryout. Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA to remain
eligible for participation in sports.
24-Credit Graduates – At the end of the seventh
semester, honor graduates will be determined by
averaging the following highest 19 credits. High school
credits earned in middle school will be included in the
determination of honor graduate status. As a reminder,
any foreign language taken in middle school for high
school credit will be counted as an “elective” for the
purpose of honor graduate status; however, Florida Bright
Futures will award credit as “foreign language” credit.
Therefore, students will still need an additional year at
the next level of language to meet the two-consecutiveyear foreign language requirement for the State
University System of Florida.
The following team sports/activities are offered at NHS
during the school day:
Baseball
Basketball (Boys and Girls)
Coed Cheerleading
Dance Team
Football
Soccer (Boys and Girls)

any necessary schedule changes.

COLLEGE BOARD ADVANCED PLACEMENT
The Advanced Placement Program® is a cooperative
educational endeavor between secondary schools and
colleges and universities. Since its inception in 1955, the
program has provided motivated high school students
with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a
high school setting. Students who participate in the
program not only gain college-level skills, but in many
cases they also earn college credit by scoring a 3 or higher
on the AP exam at the end of the course. AP courses are
taught by dedicated and enthusiastic high school teachers
who follow course guidelines developed and published by
the College Board. All AP courses receive a 1.0
weighting. The AP exam score is not part of the student’s
classroom grade. For more information on our AP
Program, visit www.nicevillehighschool.org. The College
Board recognizes students each year who successfully
pass three or more Advanced Placement Exams each
year.
ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL
EDUCATION (AICE)
CERTIFICATE
OF
The University of Cambridge International Examinations
(CIE) is the world’s largest provider of international
qualifications for 14–19 year olds. CIE is a part of the
University of Cambridge and a not-for-profit
organization. CIE was formally established in 1998 to
provide high-quality, leading-edge qualifications that
meet the ongoing demands of employers and educators
around the world. Students who pass the end-of-course
exam will receive an Academic International Certificate of
Education (AICE) certificate. Scores of A, B, C, D, or E are
considered passing for an AICE exam and will earn credits
at many colleges and universities. All AICE courses
receive a 1.0 weighting. Like AP exams, the AICE exams
are not part of the student’s high school grade; however,
Cambridge requires that a student sit for an AICE exam in
order to complete the course and receive the weighted
Credit. For further information on our AICE program, visit
www.nicevillehighschool.org. AICE recognizes students
on an individual basis depending on their level of
achievement nationally among other students.
AICE DIPLOMA
The Cambridge AICE Diploma is a group certificate for
Cambridge International AS and A Level learners who
pass examinations in subjects drawn from across the
curriculum. It offers learners the opportunity to tailor
their studies to their individual interests, abilities and
future plans within an international curriculum
framework (available for grades 10-12 only). Contact
Donnie Pridgen at [email protected] for
more information.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Dual enrollment courses offered at Northwest Florida
State College offer qualified high school students the
opportunity to enroll in college courses while also
enrolled in high school. NWFSC exempts dual enrollment
students from application, course, and laboratory fees
and requires an unweighted GPA of 3.0. Students in 9th
and 10th grade may not be considered for dual
enrollment opportunities at NWFSC during the school
day. Participation in dual enrollment by 9th grade
students may only occur during the summer after their
9th grade year. For more dual enrollment information,
please see your high school counselor.
ONLINE EDUCATION
Florida HB7067 (Section 4.Section 1002.45) requires each
school district within the state to provide eligible
students within its boundaries the options of
participating in an online instructional program. For more
information, please contact your guidance counselor. For

requirement, look for this icon:
