MCPS College Fair: All area high school students & their parents are encouraged to attend

College Fair:  The National Association of College Admissions Counselors will host a College Fair again this year at Montgomery County Fairgrounds.  There will be an evening event on Wednesday April 13.  We are encouraging all parents and students to attend this event from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Minimum Credits for Promotion:  Students must earn the minimum number of credits as indicated on the chart below to be promoted to the next grade level.  This includes all of the four HSA areas (English, Algebra, Government, and Biology).  For example, in order to become an 11th grader, a student must earn a minimum of 10 course credits, including at least two credits for required mathematics courses, two credits for required English courses, one credit for required science course, and one credit for required social studies course.  This sequence ensures that students will have successfully completed the four HSA courses prior to their senior year.  Students who successfully complete HSA courses prior to their senior year have time to retake tests and/or complete Bridge Projects, if necessary to graduate on time.
