Welcome to Legend High School.

Legend High School is a comprehensive, technology-blended, college-ready high school; we are committed to building a rigorous and engaging high school that will prepare all students to be college ready. Students will have access to Advanced Placement, Concurrent Enrollment, and Career and Technical Education courses and industry certifying programs. The excitement of transitioning into a high school and the building of traditions will be a rewarding experience in many ways. We want to provide a smooth transition for all students.  Selecting your courses is the first step. In our course guide, you will find a list of core classes as well as elective courses.

We have prepared this guide to help you plan your high school academic program. Included is information for you to use while you plan for school year 2011-12 and your entire high school career. Students and parents should work together to develop a four-year plan for high school graduation. Students should work with their teachers in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages, to assure that they will register for courses that meet their skill levels and post high school plans. Remember that every student and family has a student advisor assigned to help you with planning and registration.

You should consider the following:

• Be aware of college entrance requirements, especially the Higher Education Admission Requirements (HEAR) on page 7.
• Learn and know the DCSD graduation requirements for 2012 beyond on page 6.
• Before selecting a course, explore your career andacademic options through utlization of Naviance (see page 18) and the course descriptions beginning on page 32 to be sure that the course fits your academic needs, interests, and abilities. Some courses require prerequisite courses or teacher approval before registration. If you have questions, please call and speak to your counselor.
• Make use of Naviance, a web-based service that enables you to make decisions about colleges and careers. Naviance is linked with Workspace, which we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that is specific to our school. Naviance also lets us share information with you about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other Web resources for college and career information.

Naviance will allow you to:

• Keep track of the college application process – Build a resume, complete on-line surveys, take a personality profile test, enter journal entries, and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers.
• Search/Research colleges – Compare GPA, SAT scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past. Entering individual student information into the game plan will also give your student college matches.
• Sign up for college visits – Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to attend those sessions.

We have provided a four-year planning worksheet for you on page 11.
