The mission of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District is to inspire and
prepare students to be lifelong learners, to be flexible in approaching opportunities
for growth, and to be effective as well as ethical contributors to our global society.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Students and Parents,
This Options Book is our way of sharing with you the courses and various educational programs/policies that students
follow throughout their years at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School. It is our best attempt at compiling all the
current information so students and parents can plan appropriately for the next few years. And students: it should serve
as a valuable resource as you plan and schedule for your high school years and beyond. Careful planning and thoughtful decision-making will make your high school experience positive as you build a solid educational foundation for the
future. Special attention should be directed at the Course Planning Guide located on the last few pages of this booklet-it’s
a great planning tool.
We are very proud of the comprehensive programming we are able to offer to each individual student. A variety of opportunities exist across the curriculum, from required courses in the core academics to electives in all areas of interest.
You would be wise to select courses that we recommend: (1) fulfill graduation requirements, (2) best prepare you for
your future, and (3) are areas of personal interest. If you have questions or concerns, please ask any staff member for
assistance. We are here to serve you! I encourage you to get involved and take advantage of all facets of our school program. Enjoy your high school experience and best wishes for success at BBHHS. For your convenience, this document

GENERAL INFORMATION
PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULE
Planning your schedule for high school requires yearly self-appraisal. You must examine your interests and goals. Study
the various curricular offerings and the prerequisites needed to undertake the next desired step in the educational process.
Our curriculum is flexible in that a student may elect subjects from various departments. There should be a basic plan
of related subjects that will provide a foundation for your projected post-high school goals.
Read the enclosed material carefully and thoughtfully. Your counselor, teachers, and parents will aid you in any
way possible. To prepare for admission to any one of Ohio’s public or private four-year colleges or universities, it is
recommended that students meet the following minimum college preparatory program:
English
Mathematics
Social Studies
Science
World Languages
The Arts
4 credits
4 credits
3 credits
3 credits (2 Lab Sciences)
2 credits*
1 credit**
*Various colleges recommend additional world language preparation. Check with your guidance counselor and colleges/
universities of your choice for additional information.
**Examples are: Acting, Art, Humanities, Instrumental Music, Music Appreciation, Music Theory, Photography, Theatre,
and Vocal Music.
Students who are hoping to complete a high school program, which will prepare them for the world of work upon
graduation, should study the descriptions of the courses offered in the Business and Vocational/Technical Education
Departments. Those whose plans are undecided are urged to study all offerings of the high school, to discuss alternatives
with parents, teachers, friends and other interested persons, and to seek assistance from the school counselors.
The requirements for admission to more selective colleges include more academic credits in each course of study than
the minimum suggested. To be certain of the requirements of selective schools, contact your guidance counselor or the
college or university. Many professional programs require more high school preparation in related areas. For example, to
qualify for admission to an engineering program, it is advisable to have four years of college preparatory math, chemistry
and physics. Talk with your counselor to be sure of other such programs.
Course offerings and class times will be subject to change pending the approval of the Board of Education.
GUIDANCE COUNSELING SERVICES
Guidance counseling services are an integral part of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools. Efforts are made by the
staff to assist students in recognizing interests, capabilities, and achievements, and to make available pertinent information
that will be of value in selecting courses.
The counselors periodically review each student’s course selections, and, coupled with the recommendations of the staff,
assist each student to meet graduation requirements and to formulate realistic goals.
Parent cooperation and participation is a vital part of the counseling program. Counselors invite and welcome parents
throughout the year for conferences and especially during the registration period each year. The parent may make
appointments with the student’s counselor any school day during normal school hours (7:10 a.m. to 3:10 p.m.). If an
appointment is desired, call the Guidance Office secretary at 740-4720 or 740-4721.

COURSE CHANGES
Planning a schedule for the next school year is a difficult task and situations may occur requiring a change in that
schedule. These schedule changes, however, have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall
master-schedule, and therefore, must be made sparingly. The student and parent are urged not to plan a program with the
idea that it can be changed. Once a student selects his/her courses (verified by parents) the Guidance Department will
not initiate a schedule change unless a compelling educational reason exists.
After the close of the school year no changes will occur unless:
1. there is a technical error in the scheduling process
2. it is clear that the student is academically misplaced
3. there is a scheduling conflict
GUIDEPOSTS TOWARD GRADUATION
GRADE PLACEMENT
Students will be classified by grades according to the number of credits they have accumulated. The minimum credits
for grade classification will be as follows:
GRADE CLASSIFICATION
10th grade
11th grade
12th grade
5 credits
10 credits
15 credits
COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS
A student should be aware of his/her personal progress each year, so graduation can be attained. In order to make
satisfactory progress toward receiving a diploma each student must be enrolled in a minimum of 5.25 credits per year.
An average class load is between 5.50 and 6 credits per year. Students must schedule enough course credits to assure
no more than one (1) study hall per day (excluding lab science study halls). Algebra I taken at the middle school
will count toward the 4 credits of math required for graduation. Students may receive one elective credit for a full year
of the first year of a world language taken at the middle school. World language, Algebra I and Honors Physical Science
taken at the middle school are not part of the cumulative grade point average for high school. Honors Geometry will be
calculated into the cumulative GPA.
REQUIRED SUBJECTS
Required subjects must be taken during the school year at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School. Students who
fail a required course during the school year should arrange to repeat the course in summer school or night school.

athletics, marching band or
cheerleading for at least two
full seasons.
There can be no combination
of PE class with a sport. Two
different sports count. Students
shall be required to complete
one-half unit, consisting of at
least 60 hours of instruction, in
another course of study.
FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM OUTLINE
The four-year plan given below is provided for use by the students and parents in planning the four-year program of
studies. Included are subjects that are required by the State of Ohio and the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board
of Education. Note that these are suggested minimum course loads and should only be used as a guide in your
planning. Specific course selection and course loads should be determined by individual needs, abilities, and interests.
(Note: Algebra I and world languages taken at the middle school will be granted credit but will not be calculated into
the cumulative GPA. Honors Geometry and Honors Physical Science will be calculated into the cumulative GPA.)

PREREQUISITES
In order to enroll in any course, a student must meet the requirements (prerequisites) for admission to that course.
These are included in the description for the course.
ACADEMIC OPTIONS
ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are part of a program of college-level courses and exams that give high school
students the opportunity to receive credit and/or advanced placement in college. Students enrolling in AP courses
should expect to develop analytical reasoning skills and study the subject matter in great depth. Approval for enrolling
will be based on student ability, past performance, counselor and/or teacher recommendation, and prerequisite courses.
Because of the difficulty of these courses and the time demands involved, grades of “A”, “B”, or “C”, on a student’s
report cards will receive an extra weight in the computation of the grade point average. Students are required to
take the AP exam in the spring. The test costs approximately $93. Based on the score of the exam, college credit
may be earned. (“A” = 5 points, “B” = 4 points, “C” = 3 points, “D” = 1 point, and “F” = 0 point). AP weight will
be assigned to the GPA upon completion of the AP exams.
For information about specific colleges’/ universities’ credit plans, google search “AP credit policies.”

CAREER CENTER ENROLLMENT
The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center program is an extension of Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School. Students
who wish to enroll in a two-year program at the Career Center must submit their applications during February of their
sophomore year. These applications will then be reviewed by the Guidance Department and the placement of students in
the various programs will be determined. Students accepted into a Career Center program continue to attend BrecksvilleBroadview Heights High School for their academic courses.
Students must attend the Career Center when it is in session even though Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School
is not. Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School must be attended when it is in session even though CVCC is not in
session.
Most of the career and technical programs are two years in length. Students may enter for one year, but it is preferred
that students continue toward completing the entire two year program. A complete listing of career and technical course
offerings can be found in this Options Book.
Sophomores and/or juniors who are interested will find complete course descriptions pertaining to the programs offered
at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center in the High School Programs booklet provided by the career center as well as this
Options Book. A brief description of each of the programs may be found throughout this booklet along with the sample
Program of Study for each program. If there are additional questions, see your guidance counselor.
SUMMER SCHOOL
A student may earn no more than two remedial credits per year in summer school. “A maximum student load shall be
no more than one new unit per summer, with a maximum of four such units counting toward graduation,” in compliance
with the State of Ohio minimum standards. The Principal of Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School or his designee
must approve enrollment in any summer school program. This option may be limited to online courses only.
EVENING SCHOOL
No pupil enrolled full-time in Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School shall be permitted to earn credit in evening
high school classes except under prior written permission, granted by the Principal or his designee. Availability may be
limited.
ONLINE INSTRUCTION
One potential option for students to earn credit for core coursework that they have failed is through select online credit
recovery programs. Courses are available at student/parent’s expense. For students who are not successful in the typical
schooling offerings, BBHCSD now offers an online program. See your counselor for further details.
CREDIT FLEXIBILITY
Credit Flexibility enables students to earn high school credit based on the demonstration of subject competency. Students
may complete coursework, test out of a course, or pursue educational options. Please see the proposal process on the web
site or discuss this option with your counselor. Deadlines are August 1 (for fall) , November 1 (for spring) and March
1 (for summer).
COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS
College Credit Plus (CCP), provides free full and part-time college credit to secondary school students who meet the
admission requirements of a partnering college. Students that choose this option are enrolled in high school and college.
Any student interested in this program should contact his/her guidance counselor before February 1st for application
information. Students must select a 15 or 30 semester hour career pathway which will be determined in cooperation
with local colleges. Students and parents must attend a mandatory evening counseling session on 2/8/2016 if they are
interested in the program for the following year. The make-up meeting will be on 2/9/2016 at 7:20am in the HS LGI.
All of the information regarding College Credit Plus program is available on the web site.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND COMMENCEMENT
The State of Ohio and the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education have prescribed minimum requirements
for a diploma. Students not meeting the minimum course requirements will NOT be permitted to participate in commencement exercises.
EARLY GRADUATION
Students who desire to graduate from Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School in three or three and one-half years
must submit a letter of intent from their parents. Application forms are available in the Guidance Office. This letter
of intent must be submitted during the sophomore year. The counselors will work closely with students and parents
to develop a program, which is in compliance with the standards for graduation set forth by the State of Ohio and the
Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education.
NAVIANCE PORTFOLIO/PRE-COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAMS
All students will be asked to develop and complete an online portfolio beginning in their Freshman year. As part of
the process, students will develop a resume and a list of appropriate professional references in Naviance. Throughout
their years at the high school, students are encouraged to collect other appropriate documents to enhance their portfolio.
Awards, certificates, samples of work, a transcript and letters of recommendation may be scanned, saved and viewed in
their Naviance document library. When students present their portfolio during an employment, scholarship or college
interview, they are providing college admissions officers or potential employers with a solid representation of their interests, abilities, and career plans.
We feel it is important to help guide our students through testing experiences that will familiarize them with both types
of the national pre-college testing programs, the ACT, and the College Board’s SATs. There are preliminary versions of
both, and through the first three years of high school, on a designated Test Day, we will administer these standardized
tests to prepare our students. The goal is to ready students in the junior year, usually for the fall PSAT, and later the
junior year, usually for the fall PSAT, and later the junior year, the ACT and/or SAT. Students should reference the ACT
College Readiness standards at www.act.org/standard.

Each 12th grader is required to complete paperwork necessary for graduation. Important activities for this take place in
mid-September of the senior year. Our counselors will present key information in all senior English classes. Seniors
will need to: fill out and sign the Petition Form for Graduation, and Honors Diploma Worksheet which will go to their
counselors for final review; know the action steps they must begin taking to become admitted to a college, apprenticeship,
military position, or other post-graduation plan; and, become familiar with the electronic tool Naviance, which is a system
for managing most of the applications and planning. A Transcript Release Form must be signed for almost any plan for
after graduation. All families have the option of meeting with their counselors individually.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Course Change Forms are available in the Guidance Office and, although used sparingly, may result in a withdrawal
from a course if approved. Student, teacher, counselor and parent sections must be completed for a course withdrawal
to be considered. Schedule changes for reasons other than technical errors, conflicts, inappropriate placement, or other
legitimate educational reasons will not be considered.
In order for a subject to be removed completely from the transcript, a student must withdraw within a time limit prescribed as follows:
Semester courses
sixth through sixteenth day
Year courses
sixth through thirty-sixth day
If a student withdraws from a subject after the prescribed time limit, a “WF” (Withdraw-Failing) will appear on the report
card and transcript regardless of the grade earned at the time of withdrawal. The “WF” grade will continue to be a part
of the student’s grade point average.
Course changes involving adding courses are recommended only up to the 1st interim. PE additions are allowed only
up to the first 2 weeks of the semester.
9
SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY OPTION
The “S/U” option is the opportunity given to a junior or senior to select one (1) unit of credit or less in non-required subjects
for credit each year in which the grade will be either “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory”. In addition, any student in grades
10-12 may take an additional S/U option for a music course, excluding music theory and music appreciation.“Satisfactory”
(S) will require a “C” or higher for credit; this translates into an average of at least 73%. An average below 73% will
result in an “Unsatisfactory” (U). This option is not available for honors or advanced placement courses.
“Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory” credit will be included in the total credits being taken by the student, but will not be
figured into the grade point average or class rank. Therefore, the “S/U” option does not figure into the GPA to determine
a student’s eligibility; however it will count toward the 5-credit course requirement that also determines eligibility.
The student’s declaration for “S/U” must be made prior to the end of September for the first semester or
year-long courses and the applications must be approved by the student’s counselor and Assistant Principal.
During the second semester, students have the first ten school days to select this option. Applications are available in the
Guidance Office.
ATHLETIC AND INTERSCHOLASTIC EXTRACURRICULAR ELIGIBILITY
Students are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of 1.5 in order to be eligible to participate in any
interscholastic extracurricular activity (grades 7-12) within the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District. The
grade point average of each grading period (quarter grades) will be used to determine eligibility. The eligibility of a student
will continue until the grades are released to the athletic office, at which time the grades from the immediately preceding
grading period become effective. EXCEPTION: Eligibility or ineligibility for the first grading period commences with
the start of the fall sports season.
Summer school grades earned may not be used to recalculate a student’s GPA from the last grading period of the regular
school year.
Additionally, eligibility requirements for participating in athletic programs must conform to the policies, rules/
regulations, and limitations outlined by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Specifically, during the preceding
grading period, the student must have received passing grades in a minimum of FIVE one-credit courses or the
equivalent, which count toward graduation. Please keep in mind that Physical Education courses are .25 credit
for a semester which does not fulfill the requirement.
Because NCAA eligibility requirements are subject to change, it is imperative that students interested in collegiate athletics
(seniors and/or their parents) consult with their respective guidance counselor about the NCAA application process. If
students know freshman year that they may be a Division I or II athlete, they need to communicate that to their guidance
counselor so adequate planning can take place.
HONOR SOCIETIES
Students must have a 3.6 overall grade point average to be considered for National Honor Society. Students who enroll
in the basic or general level courses shall not be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society.
The following courses are considered general level courses for NHS eligibility purposes: Reading, Physical Science,
Biology, Algebra 1 Blocked, Geometry Block, Trigonometry/Math Applications.
Students at BBHHS are fortunate to have opportunities to join National Art Honor Society, Tri-M Music Honorary, and
National Vocational Technical Honor Society.

OHIO GRADUATION TESTS – CLASSES OF 2016, 2017
The Ohio Legislature has established a statewide high school proficiency-testing program for students in the classes of
2016 and 2017. Tests are administered in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, citizenship and science to verify
student achievement at the designated levels.
Students in the class of 2016 and 2017 are required to pass the five parts of the Ohio Graduation Test. The test measures
proficiency in five content areas: reading, writing, mathematics, citizenship, and science. The graduation exams have
been designed to measure knowledge and skills that students are expected to learn by the end of tenth grade.
END-OF-COURSE EXAMS – CLASS OF 2018 AND BEYOND
Ohio is creating a challenging assessment system to track student progress through the elementary and high school
years and to ensure that students will graduate high school with 21st century knowledge and skills. Assessments
will be computer-based and aligned to the New Learning Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Students in the Class of 2018 and beyond will take Ohio Department of Education sanctioned end of course exams in
7 areas: Algebra I, Geometry, American History, English 1, 2, Physical Science, and American Government. Students
studying Advanced Placement (AP) courses in physical science, American history or American government may take
assessments aligned to those courses in lieu of end-of-course exams to avoid double testing. A student who earned
high school credit in any of the above courses before July 1, 2014, automatically will receive a score of three points
per course exam toward the total points needed for graduation. Students must also meet one of the following three:
1. Earn a cumulative passing score on seven end-of-course exams. The scores will be set by the State Board
of Education.
2. Earn a “remediation-free” score on a nationally recognized college admission exam such as ACT or SAT.
The State of Ohio will pay for all 11th-grade students in the Class of 2018 and beyond to take the exam free
of charge.
3. Earn a State Board of Education-approved, industry-recognized credential or a state-issued license for
practice in a career and achieve a score that demonstrates workforce readiness and employability on a job
skills assessment.
SENIOR INTERNSHIP OPTION
Senior Internship Option is an opportunity for students to participate in an independent study project during the last
three weeks of senior year. Seniors can pursue practical educational experiences of interest to them. The work must be
voluntary and there may be no monetary or other compensation. The time required for the project must meet or exceed
thirty hours per week. Other requirements include:
1. The student must design a program that will enable him or her to pursue professional interests in an educational
and practical way-it should be related to the student’s career path.
2. The student must arrange for a community advisor to sponsor a daily work experience during the project
period of three weeks. It is recommended that an immediate relative not be chosen as community sponsors;
the student must see their assistant principal or the principal to discuss the additional requirements for such
cases.
3. The student must arrange for a school (faculty) advisor to provide guidance, feedback, and assure student
accountability regarding fulfillment of the project guideline requirements.
4. The student must meet the minimum requirements listed below.

SPECIAL SERVICES
CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Naviance is a comprehensive system for students and families to use to make plans about colleges and careers. The
guidance office uses Naviance to track and analyze data about college and career plans by providing up-to-date
information that’s specific to our school. Naviance is also the mechanism by which we share information with
students and families about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship and volunteer opportunities, and other
resources for college and career information.
Family Connection within Naviance allows our students to:
• Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete online surveys, and
manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers.
• Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores and other statistics to actual historical data
from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past.
• Research careers – Research hundreds of careers and career clusters, and take career assessments.
• Create plans for the future – Create goals and to-dos, and complete tasks assigned by the school to
better prepare your student for future college and career goals.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Within each department or subject area, you will find a Program of Study listed. The Program of Study is designed to
provide a “road map” for the student. It shows how a student can meet Ohio high school graduation requirements and
still take elective courses in a career area of interest. Each Program of Study shows grades 9-12 course requirements and
electives, related organization/activities suggestions, and postsecondary options ranging from entry level career options
to two or four year degree options.
COMPUTER LABS
Students have access to computer labs during the day. One lab is located on the second floor and one on the ground floor.
Students may also use the Media Center computers. These areas are open before school and after school daily.
Wireless laptops are available in the Media Center and in many classroooms. Students accessing the district wireless
services at any time in any location are subject to the district acceptable use policy and code of conduct.
MEDIA CENTER
The mission of the Media Center is to ensure that students and staff members are effective users of information and technology. This mission is accomplished by providing access to materials in all formats, by providing instruction to foster
competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing and using information and ideas, and by collaborating with the
educational staff to design learning strategies to meet the needs of the individual students. Access to the Media Center
web page at http://www.bbhcsd.org/high/media is a gateway to linking all of the media resources. Home use passwords
and specific web addresses are available on a reference sheet that is available in the media center. Additionally, the media
center circulates a variety of audiovisual and technology equipment to both students and staff. A professional library
media specialist and support staff are available to students and staff each day.
HEALTH SERVICES
A registered nurse and nurse aide are available at the high school. The school nurse and aide work closely with parents,
school personnel, students, doctors and other members of the community. Each school year students must submit emergency
medical authorizations. This information is entered by parents/guardians in an online format where the information can
be linked to siblings. These must be updated when there is a change of address, phone number or physician information.
First aid and emergency care are provided for the students during the school day. The school nurse does not dispense any
medications, except when necessary in accordance with the Board of Education policy on school personnel administering
drugs prescribed by physicians.

CUYAHOGA VALLEY CAREER CENTER
The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is an extension of
Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School and offers
students a variety of career and technical education programs
during their junior and senior years. These programs are
designed to provide students with marketable technical
skills and preparation for a career or further education
making use of those skills. Upon graduation from high
school, students are ready for immediate employment or for
continued training in their chosen field in an apprenticeship,
at a technical institute or at a two- or four-year college. Entry
to CVCC programs is by application through the guidance
office.
Earning College Credit
There are several opportunities for students to earn college credits for the career-technical coursework taken at CVCC. Most
programs at CVCC are designated “Ohio College Tech Prep” (identified in the program listings by the • symbol), in which students
can earn transcripted college credit that is transferrable to any public two- or four-year college in Ohio. Students must meet specific
requirements to qualify, including a 3.0 or better GPA at CVCC, completion of Algebra II or higher, and a 2.0 overall GPA. In
addition, some CVCC programs are approved by the Ohio Board of Regents as “Career Technical Credit Transfer” courses (identified
in the program listings by CT2). In these courses, students can earn credit in equivalent college courses by demonstrating agreedupon technical knowledge and skills based on recognized industry standards. The credits transfer as subject-specific credits to any
public two- or four-year institution in Ohio offering the equivalent technical course. CVCC also maintains individual agreements
with several institutions that can lead to articulated college credit for CVCC coursework. A complete list can be found in the CVCC
catalog or website. College-bound students should plan their four-year high school schedules carefully, so that they meet college
entrance requirements and still have room in their schedule for a CVCC program.
Academics/Scheduling
Most CVCC programs are two years in length and generally yield 4 units of elective credit per year, although some programs carry
a mix of academic and elective credits. (Credits are listed with each program description.) Students generally attend CVCC for half
of each school day to take a technical course, and take regular academic courses at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School for
the other half of the day. Exceptions are noted in the course descriptions. Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School provides bus
transportation to and from CVCC.
Admissions Requirements
Students enrolling at CVCC must have completed two years of high school by the year in which they begin a program. Students
on track for graduation at the end of their sophomore year, by having completed at least seven of the fifteen core academic credits
required for graduation by the Ohio Department of Education, are assigned “priority” status for enrollment. The credits must include
two in Language Arts, two in Mathematics and any combination of three credits in Science, Social Studies, Health or Physical
Education. Students not meeting this standard are assigned “regular” status and are accepted after all priority status students have
been placed. For each regular status student, the guidance office must submit a written plan for completing graduation requirements
and have received approval by the CVCC administration by the first day of school. Several CVCC programs have unique admission
requirements (pre-requisite courses, grade point average, interviews, etc.) See the individual program descriptions for details. In
accordance with best practices, admission of students with disabilities should be the result of an IEP/transition team meeting to which
the appropriate CVCC representative has been invited.
Campus Wear
All CVCC students are required to purchase or rent prescribed campus wear, which must be worn while class is in session. Students
in Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Dental Assisting, Health Careers, Medical Administrative Specialist and Public Health & Safety
purchase uniforms from uniform supply stores. Hotels & Resorts students purchase pants on their own, but jackets and caps are
purchased through CVCC. Students in Auto Body, Auto Service Technology and Power Equipment Technology rent uniforms through
CVCC. The cost is included in the class fee. All other students purchase program shirts through CVCC. Except where noted, uniform
costs are not included in the listed program fees. Please note: Program fees may be subject to change.

English 1, 2, 3, and 4 are required of all students for graduation. In order to provide for the varied abilities
and needs of students, the English program is divided into two levels - Honors and Academic. The student
is not rigidly tracked, but may be changed into classes at another level should the teacher and counselor
recommend this. In all grades and levels of English, students will study composition, grammar, and literature;
however, there is more emphasis on grammar in ninth and tenth grade and more emphasis on literature in
eleventh and twelfth. Students will write increasingly longer and more complex compositions as they move
from ninth to twelfth grade. A portion of the grade in English class is dependent on class participation. Some
courses may require additional reading materials to be purchased by the student. Students who leave the
honors track after junior year will be recommended for Creative Writing and Modern Novel for senior year.

BBHHS WORLD LANGUAGE
By learning a world language, students arrive at a better understanding and appreciation of their own native
language. The World Language Department offers three languages. All three have a five-year sequential
program. Students are encouraged to take at least three years of one language. In the World Language
department the communicative approach is emphasized; that is, the students learn to speak the world
language. Cultural studies of the language are stressed. Students with less than a “C” average in English
should postpone starting a language until their sophomore or junior year.

Job Training
Transition to Work
Fees: None
Fees: $30 each year
Job Training is a community-based, career-technical
education program designed to help individuals
with disabilities obtain, maintain and advance in
competitive employment. If a student demonstrates
individual job readiness, the Job Training team
emphasizes the idea of matching student abilities
with existing employer needs. The program instructor
networks within the community to find successful
leads within the community, supports the initial
training period, provides regular follow-along and
retention services, and works with students to promote
maximum growth in their natural employment
setting. In addition to working with employers and
students, the Job Training Coordinator provides
regular communication to any adult services that may
be in place to promote a smooth transition to adult
services. Job Training is recommended to be a oneyear program.
Transition to Work is a program designed to assist
students in the development of appropriate work
behaviors, employability skills and social skills for
the workplace. This is done through simulated work
and piecework in-house in Transition to Work PM
and work at non-paid, community-based training
sites in Transition to Work AM. Either section of this
program can be repeated to meet individual needs as
determined by recommendations of the IEP team,
which will include appropriate consideration of
program referral guidelines. Annual re-application is
required.
Sales and Service
Fundamentals
Fees: $30 each year
Sales & Service is a marketing education program
designed to provide students with disabilities with
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to
succeed in a service occupation, while developing
employability skills and competencies needed in
their transition to work. It gives students the right
balance of class work and practical applications,
and includes both in-house and community-based
supervised work experiences. Both sections of this
program, Level One (a.m.) and Level Two (p.m.), can
be repeated as necessary to meet individual needs.
Annual re-application is required.
