CCHS Junior Packet
2013-2014
Cocke County High School
Juniors 13-14
Dear Student,
Congratulations, you are on your way!!
By becoming a JUNIOR, you are now an
UPPERCLASSMAN. Junior year is the time that you should seriously begin to research and
examine your post-secondary options, take college exams, schedule college visits, and start noticing
scholarships. But, first, assess your current graduation status.
1. Monitor your academic progress. Your success in school depends on your classroom
performance. REMEMBER, YOU MUST HAVE 2O CREDITS TO BECOME A SENIOR!!! At the end
of your senior year, you must have ALL required credits completed in
order to participate in the graduation ceremony. The privilege of
participating in the graduation ceremony can also be removed for disciplinary
actions @ the discretion of the CCHS principal.
Use this page to recall and assess your current graduation status.
Check off classes you have completed and
then determine which courses would best benefit you for next year.

Don’t fall victim to
“SENIORITIS”
Colleges will expect your transcript to show
course choices demonstrating a progression to
the next academic level—don’t plan on “taking
off” your last semester. Colleges do see your
final transcript and offers of admittance can
change.

*Do you need TUTORING?
Talk to
your teacher immediately before you fall too far 1
behind. Most teachers offer tutoring before and
after school. Also, let your counselor know if you
are struggling in your classes.

2. Assess and modify your educational plans to support your career goals. Select
appropriate and challenging courses to prepare for your next step.
What class(s) will you choose to further prepare you for college/career? Have your teachers
recommended an honors course for you? Remember options which will allow you to earn
college credit or allow you to leave early. Think about those courses that look really good to
colleges. (i.e. AP, Dual Enrollment, etc.).
 Would you be interested in getting some of the basic college courses out of the way while you are still in
high school?
 Do you have a minimum 3.0 GPA?
You could go ahead and take college courses such as:
Psychology, Speech, English Comp 1 & 2, Probability and Statistics, calculus,
Computer Applications,
US History I & II, etc.
You need to learn about
DUAL ENROLLMENT….
(Don’t forget—AP courses could also provide you with a great experience and potentially
some college credit too [credit thru testing].)
CCHS COURSE OPTIONS WITH WSCC
Dual Enrollment (DE): Students are considered "dually enrolled" when they are attending
high school and a post-secondary school, like Walters State, Carson-Newman, Tusculum, etc., at the
same time. Dual-Enrollment (DE) programs offer qualified high school juniors and seniors the opportunity
to receive COLLEGE credit at a relatively low cost while still in high school. By applying for the DE Grant,
you could be awarded $1200 ($300 a semester) to use toward the cost of dual enrollment courses. This
means you can earn 4 college credits before you leave high school. The grant will pay $300 toward each
semester. The remaining balance for you and your family would be approximately $170.00 plus the cost of
your book (if a book is required).
DE class options for CCHS are:






Evening course(s) @ CCHS (6 - 9 p.m. one night a week per course)
Afternoon course(s) @ CCHS (app. 4:20 - 5:40 two times a week - no Fridays)
Course(s) @ college's main campus or other campus
Online course(s) using your own internet connection
Course(s) in addition to the 4 blocks scheduled at CCHS
Course(s) as part of the 4 blocks scheduled at CCHS with one of our teachers or through
the distance learning lab
Students interested in Dual Enrollment MUST make an appointment to see
their high school counselor first to get permission to participate.

ALL of your grades impact your cumulative GPA (Grade Point Average);
therefore, you want to do your best in each of your classes every semester.
Remember, this (along with college entrance exam scores) will make a difference
next year when scholarships come into play.
GPA
Each semester grade is worth points; refer to the following scale to calculate your own. Do you
remember how to calculate your GPA?

What about the ACT???
Almost all colleges require scores from either the ACT or the SAT. Many colleges
accept scores from both exams; however, some colleges require, or prefer, scores from
one or the other. You should check the college’s website for information regarding
which test a college requires or prefers. Students may retake these tests as many
times as they want; colleges will generally use their highest score. Students can pick
up registration information and study guides in the counseling office.
► READ the study guides, take the practice tests, use the online prep sites, and go
over what you missed on the practice tests. Of course, honors and advanced classes
at CCHS prepare you for both the ACT and the SAT.
ALL JUNIORS WILL BE TAKING
THE ACT DURING SCHOOL ON:
March 4, 2014
Why take the ACT and/or
SAT in your junior year?
So you:
 Can provide your
score on
scholarship
applications
 Have time to
retake it if you
want to try for a
better score.
This test date will be provided at NO CHARGE to the student. Testing procedures will be followed so that scores will
be reportable to the post-secondary schools (i.e. colleges, universities, NCAA, etc.) of your choice. Please explore the
website www.actstudent.org/start or see your counselor to pick up an ACT Preparation Booklet.
 You may also see your counselor about CCHS’ new ACT ONLINE PREP program.

TIP: At CCHS, we recommend that you take the ACT as soon as possible after completing Algebra II and
Geometry. If you are going to take Trig and Pre-Calculus, you would probably want to retake the ACT the
semester that you have Pre-Calculus.

In addtion to carefully selecting your courses, succeeding in highschool, and
performing well on college entrance exams, it’s important to GET INVOLVED IN
SOMETHING IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!! Start connecting your extra-/cocurricular activities you are choosing to your future goals and aspirations. Don’t wait
till senior year—remember you want to establish a LEADERSHIP role.
3. Demonstrate the ability to balance school, extracurricular activities, leisure time and
family time. Get involved. Ask yourself, “What kind of activities am I involved in now?”
“What else do I need to consider being a part of?”
Participate in a sport, take on a leadership role in a club,
Volunteer in your community, Get a summer job/internship or participate
in TN Governor’s School, visit your college of choice, job
shadow
Extra-/Co-curricular and community activities enhance your high school experience
and they look great on college scholarships and applications. So, volunteer or tryout for
leadership roles. DON’T WAIT until it’s too late; get involved now! Keep a log of your
academic progress and activities (resume`).
USE the skills you’ve gained in English and/or Keyboarding to
create your
Résumé or Curriculum Vitae.
It’s a snapshot of who you are and what you have done or
accomplished.
You may be wondering why you need a résumé. Most résumés include the same information that
your college application asks for, but a résumé has four distinct advantages:
• You can copy information from your résumé right on to your application, without having to
worry about forgetting things.
• Your résumé will help your counselor and your teachers to write the best possible letter of
recommendation. However, give your counselor at least a 2 week notice if you need a letter of
recommendation.
• A résumé will give you an organized, professional appearance.

Cocke County High School
Juniors 13-14
What follows is a general outline for a master résumé. It is not the only way to create a résumé; it is
only a suggested format. If you have nothing vital to offer under a certain heading, omit it. If there is
a heading you can add that will tell important things about you, add it. Like the rest of your
application, your résumé should reflect your personality, your strengths, and your interests.

MILITARY ACADEMIES: The United States Service academies, also known as the United States Military Academies,
are federal academies for the undergraduate education and training of commissioned officers for the United States armed
forces. U.S. Service academies:





United States Military Academy, (Army) also known as "West Point" at West Point NY
United States Naval Academy, also known as "Annapolis" in Annapolis MD
United States Coast Guard Academy, in New London CT
United States Air Force Academy, also known as the "U.S.A.F.A." in Colorado Springs CO
United States Merchant Marine Academy, also known as "Kings Point"
Congressional nominations: Applicants to all service academies, except the United States Coast Guard Academy, are
required to obtain a nomination to the school. Nominations may be made by Senators, Congressmen, and the President, and
the Vice President (The United States Merchant Marine Academy only accepts nominations from Senators and
Congressmen). Applicants to the Coast Guard Academy compete in a direct nationwide competitive process that has no bystate quotas.
If you are interested in seeking a congressional nomination and appointment, please begin the application process
before your senior year. Completed application packets are due back to Senators Bob Corker and Lamar
Alexander, AND Rep. Phil Roe’s office by Oct. 1st. The application for nomination is extensive and requires
several references/recommendations. Most of this should be completed along with having taken the SAT by the
time you start your senior year. Congressional nomination interviews begin at the end of October. Nominees/appointees
are contacted starting in December. For further information, see Counselor, Mr. Johnson and/or contact an
admissions officer.
Are you planning on applying for an ROTC Scholarship? If so, take the Act or SAT by Dec of
11th grade. Also, talk to a military representative about optional summer programs. The primary
type of ROTC scholarship is the four-year tuition scholarship program. These are awarded to high school seniors
on the basis of a national competition, and each year more than 4,000 winners are selected from about 25,000
applicants. If you decide to compete for a four-year ROTC scholarship, it's important that you apply to a college
that accepts it. A smart strategy is to apply to more than one participating school, as you may not be accepted at
your first choice. See Mr. Johnson for more information.
SAVE MONEY and CHECK INTO SCHOLARSHIPS- scholarships are
free money awarded for various reasons ranging from athletic talent, grades, persons who
are left-handed, red headed, to someone who is planning to major in Spanish. Start looking
at scholarship possibilities during your junior year.
Be worthy of a scholarship: by keeping your grades up, doing well on tests, participating in extracurricular
activities, and volunteering for causes that matter to you – all of these things will help give you an edge as you
apply for scholarships.
The Internet has a great deal of information on scholarship opportunities. Some excellent sources are listed
below.
