PLANNING YOUR SCHEDULE
It is important for students to plan their schedules carefully and discuss their choices with their teachers,
counselor and parents. Students are encouraged to consider the following:
• Have I met the graduation requirements for North Royalton High School?
• Have I selected classes to prepare me for post-high school education?
• Have I selected challenging courses appropriate to my interests and abilities?
• Do I have a four-year high school plan?
• Do I have the necessary prerequisites for the classes I want to take? (See the sequence charts for
English, Math, Social Studies, and Science)
• If I am an athlete, have I checked for NCAA elibigility?
Careful planning and decision-making will make your high school experience positive as you build a solid
educational foundation for the future. The number of sections offered for a course is based on student
registration. PLEASE REGISTER ACCURATELY.
COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENT
The minimum pupil load each year is 5.75 credits (not to include summer school credits).
SCHEDULE CHANGES
All schedule changes must be made before May 1, 2016
Every effort will be made to ensure that students are properly placed in classes, which they select during
the registration process. Any type of schedule change has a serious effect on class size, staffing/teacher
assignments, and the overall master schedule. Some courses listed in the NRHS Course Catalog may not be
offered each year.
No changes will be made unless:
• There is a technical error in the scheduling process
• It is determined by a team consisting of the classroom teacher, counselor, administrator, and parent that
the student is academically misplaced
• Adjustments need to be made due to successful completion of summer school courses
• A student wants to add an additional course where enrollment permits and does not require movement of
other courses
• A student does not have a minimum of 5.75 credits
Convenience changes will not be made. These include but are not limited to:
• Changing a class or lunch period to be with friends
• Requesting a different teacher
• Requesting early dismissal
• Requesting to drop a course because the student does not like the class or feels it might be too difficult
* Specific scheduling requests and requests for teachers cannot be honored.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS - Class of 2017
In order to receive a North Royalton High School Diploma, students must earn 21 credits, pass all
sections of the Ohio Graduation Test, and complete a Senior Exit Portfolio and interview. It is the
student’s responsibility to see that requirements for graduation are met. The high school will make every
effort to keep up-to-date records and to keep students and parents informed about the status of progress
toward completing the necessary requirements for graduation.

Reading, Science, Social Studies and Writing. The OGT will be given in the spring of the student’s
sophomore year. Portions of the test in which the student is not proficient will be retaken in the fall and
spring of the junior year and again in the fall and spring of the senior year, if necessary. All portions of the
test must be passed to participate in commencement exercises.
ALTERNATIVE WAY TO MEET THE TESTING REQUIREMENTS:

College Credit Plus+ PROGRAM/CCP+ ALSO KNOWN AS DUAL ENROLLMENT
WHAT IS THE COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS PROGRAM?
The College Credit Plus+ Program (CCP) allows Ohio high school students to earn college credit while in
high school. The successful completion of college courses also counts towards graduation credits. CCP+
is open to 7th through 12th grade students enrolled in the state’s public and nonpublic high schools. The
purpose of the program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and expose students to options beyond the
high school classroom.
An informational meeting is held every February at North Royalton High School and representatives from
local college are invited. Each college/university has established admission criteria and course registration
procedures which high school students must follow. Students and parents must inform the high school
administration by April 1, 2016, of their intent to participate in CCP+ for the upcoming school year.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
If you are a resident of Ohio and a student in the 7th through 12th grade, you may be eligible. Colleges
have different eligibility requirements and students will need to contact the CCP+ office at the post-
secondary institution.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE PROGRAM?
• Expands the curriculum available to students
• Provides opportunities for students to study those areas of special interest
• Allows students to earn college credit and high school credit
• Provides financial support for taking college courses
• Allows students to experience college-level work prior to making a final college selection
WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE PROGRAM?
• Possible inability to complete the public school’s graduation requirements
• Obligation of the student’s family to reimburse the school for the amount of funds paid to the
college for any incomplete or failed course
• Possible effect on GPA and class standing
• Increased independence and accountability for learning—parents may not receive communication
from college regarding poor progress or attendance
• Reduced opportunities for participating in high school activities
• No guarantee that the college courses will be scheduled at the desired time—NRHS schedule will
not be changed mid-semester to accommodate CCP+
• College courses taken may not transfer to another post secondary institution
• Social discomfort may be experienced
• Increased travel time and study time / Travel during the winter months
• Adjusted bell schedule days at NRHS may affect college course schedule
• Participation in CCP+ may affect high school/college athletic eligibility—students are responsible
for scheduling credits which meet OHSAA/NCAA guidelines

13
The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is an extension of North Royalton
High School and offers students a variety of career and technical education
programs duringtheirjuniorandsenioryears. These programs aredesigned
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 school counseling 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 agreed-upon 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 North Royalton High School for the other half of
the day. Exceptions are noted in the course descriptions. North Royalton 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 school counseling 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.
