 This meeting can be held as early as the student’s second year of high
school. The meeting must be scheduled with the school counselor. To
receive exemption, both the student and parent(s) must sign the
Louisiana Core Four Exemption Form. The principal signifies approval
of the request with his/her signature.
3. The Career Diploma is designed for students who plan to enter a community
college, a technical school, or the workforce upon graduation from high school. If
this pathway is selected, the student may request an exemption from completing
the LA Core 4 Curriculum. The student and his/her parent or guardian must
meet with the Professional School Counselor to discuss the student’s options.
This meeting can be held in 8th grade or any year of high school. The meeting
must be scheduled with the counselor. To receive exemption, both the student
and parent(s) must sign the Career Diploma Form. The principal signifies

30
Grade Classification
The grade classification of a student depends upon the number of credits earned. A student’s grade
level will be determined once per year and will be based on credits earned the previous school year.
Grade levels will not be changed at mid-term. The minimum number of credits required for each
classification is recommended as follows:
9th Grade
Less than 6 credits
10th Grade
6 – 11.5 credits
11th grade
12-17.5 credits
Graduation: 23 credits Career Diploma
12th grade
18 or more credits
24 credits Core 4 and Basic Diploma
End of Course testing (EOC)
Requirements regarding grades and procedures are changing as we phase in implementation of
End of Course (EOC) tests and phase out the Graduation Exit Exam. EOC test results will count as 20%
of the final average in Algebra I, Algebra I Part II, Geometry, English II, English III, Biology, and US History.
ALL students enrolled in an EOC course are required to take the EOC test and it will count as part of the
student’s final average in the course.
For incoming freshmen in 2010-2011 and beyond, students must meet the high-stakes assessment
requirements below to earn a diploma. As a graduation requirement for Core 4, Basic Core, and Career
Diploma, students must pass three End-of-Course Tests in the following categories:



Either Algebra I or Geometry
Either English II or English III
Either Biology or US History
A student has passed the EOC test if they score FAIR, GOOD, or EXCELLENT on the
EOC test. A score of NEEDS IMPROVEMENT means the student failed the EOC test.
(NEEDS IMPROVEMENT on all EOC tests converts to either a D or an F as a District
Grade depending on the EOC scaled score.)
*All students will take the ACT test series as part of school accountability
in March.
 Freshmen will take the EXPLORE test.
 Sophomores will take the PLAN test.
 Juniors will take the ACT test. The test will be free to students
because the Louisiana Department of Education is requiring the
schools to give the test to all public school students. It will be given
on a week day and students will be allowed to use their scores for
college entrance requirements.
31
Individual Graduation Plan
Requirements
(5 year plans)
Act 257 of the 2009 Louisiana Legislature
By the end of the 8th grade, each student shall develop, with the input of his/her family, an Individual
Graduation Plan (IGP). The purposes of the IGP document and related activities are as follows:
 Explore educational and career possibilities
 Make appropriate secondary/postsecondary decisions as part of an overall career plan
 Plan based on the student’s talents and interests
 Consider graduation requirements relevant to the student’s career pathway (area of concentration)
and postsecondary entrance requirements
Students will update their IGPs on the Louisiana Connect website each year either through their Journey to
Careers class or other classes. Updated IGPs will be sent home for approval and students and parents will
be asked to sign the plan. IGPs
(5 year plans) will be used to schedule classes for
students for every semester until graduation. Each student must choose an
Area of Concentration (AOC) and complete the classes in that concentration
or he/she will not be able to graduate!!!!
Credit Recovery
Credit recovery is an instructional program for students who have failed core courses taken
previously. Credit recovery courses are taught using computer software programs aligned with the state’s
content standards and grade level expectations. To recover credit, the student must pass a
comprehensive final exam approved by the State Department of Education. A student athlete interested in
a Division I or II University MUST repeat the required courses in their entirety to fulfill the NCAA
requirements. Students cannot simply repeat the deficient skills of a required course they fail. In other
words, they cannot use the credit recovery option for promotion of subjects failed. It will not meet the
NCAA requirement for that course.
Iberia Virtual Program
IVP is an option to traditional public school, where students access standards-based courses
monitored by highly-qualified/certified instructors through an online format. Students desiring to participate
in IVP must complete the application process from the local middle or high school which they are zoned to
attend.
Industry-based certification
An Industry-Based Certification is tangible evidence that an individual has successfully
demonstrated skill competencies in a specific set of work-related tasks, single occupations area, or a
cluster of related occupational areas. An IBC is recognized in the workforce community. See your school
counselor for more information.
32
Summer School
The purpose of summer school is to enable students to make up subjects failed. The subjects offered
are determined by student requests. To obtain credit for a summer school course, the student must be
enrolled in an accredited summer school program and must successfully complete the requirements of the
course. All courses available through summer school are computer based. The student is responsible for
the summer school fee.
If a student intends to attend a summer school program which is not sponsored by the Iberia Parish
School System, the student must submit documentation concerning the accreditation of that summer
school program to the principal prior to entering that program. The principal determines whether the
student will receive credit for the course.
Partial-Day Students
Students are responsible for their own transportation and will not be allowed to use the telephone to call
for rides. Failure to leave the campus after your final class period will result in disciplinary action and
possible re-scheduling into four classes. See your school counselor for more information.
NOTE: Students involved in any of the school-based work programs are considered full-time students.
Students who are unable to fulfill the work program will be scheduled into classes on campus. All students
involved in a work experience will be required to submit evidence of successful employment at the end of
the work experience.
Advanced Placement Classes
Advanced Placement classes are classes that are specifically offered in order for the student to
have an opportunity to earn college credit by taking an Advanced Placement exam at the end of the school
year. The AP classes are quicker paced than Honors classes. AP classes are just as rigorous as college
level classes. At the end of the school year in May, the student in the AP class has the opportunity to take
the AP exam that correlates with the class completed. The student must pay for the test. The test costs
approximately $90. The price changes from year to year. If the student scores 3, 4 or 5 on a scale form 1-5,
he/she may earn credit for college courses in that subject area.
All AP classes are open to males, females, and students of any ethnicity. If you are interested in
taking AP classes, please tell Ms. LeBlanc, LHS School Counselor, and indicate your desire on your IGP (5
year plan) for scheduling purposes.
33
Graduation
Full participation in the graduation ceremony at Loreauville High School is a privilege and not a right for the
individual student and his/her parents. Therefore, the privilege of graduating with one’s class on graduation
night is governed by the following principles:
1.
Successful completion of the course of studies and testing required by the State and Iberia Parish.
2.
Certification by Loreauville High School’s administrators as having followed the rules and regulations
of the school to such a degree that the student earned the privilege of being an active participant in
the graduation ceremony. These rules and regulations specifically include the section on
suspension and expulsion found in the student handbook.
3.
However, other breaches of rules and regulations may be considered by the administration before
bestowing on the student the privilege of being able to participate in the graduation ceremony.
These decisions are made by LHS administration.
Students who fail to pass the required components of the End of Course Exams
may not participate in the graduation ceremony.
Half-year seniors completing course requirements in January will be able to leave school at that time and
participate in the May graduation to receive their diplomas. Those choosing to receive their diplomas in
January may not take part in the May graduation exercises.
Cumulative Grade Point Average
Cumulative grade point average is calculated on a 4-point scale.
Final averages are used with quality points assigned as follows:
1-Credit Course
A = 4 quality points
B = 3 quality points
C = 2 quality points
D = 1 quality point
 Quality points for ½ credit, 2 credit, and 3 credit courses are adjusted according to the value of the
course credit.
 All credits attempted will be included for cumulative grade point average (CGPA) purposes.
 Rank in Class: Rank in class is based upon un-weighted cumulative grade point average.
LHS Recognition at Graduation
34
1.
2.
3.
4.
Graduates who have a 3.5 cumulative un-weighted grade point average or better
and who have successfully completed the Honors Program will be seated on the
first row at graduation. These graduates will be designated as DISTINGUISHED
Graduates. They will be seated in order according to their respective grade point
averages. The DISTINGUISHED graduates will be recognized individually and will
be presented with Distinguished graduates’ stoles.
Graduates who have a cumulative grade point average of less than 3.5 and who
have successfully completed the requirements of the honors program will sit on
successive rows in order according to their grade point average. These graduates
will be recognized as a group.
Graduates who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better and who
are not in the Honors program will be seated next. These graduates will also be
recognized.
Graduates who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and who
are not in the Honors program will be seated according to the order of their grade
point average.
35
Information on Scheduling!!!

Students who cannot participate in required Physical Education classes
because of medical reasons must present to the school counselor (before
registration) a written, medical statement from a qualified physician. Students will
remain scheduled in P.E. until the medical statement is received. These students
will then be allowed to waive P.E. as a requirement. These medical statements
must be updated yearly until the student has graduated.

It is necessary in some courses for a fee to be charged. All fees will have to be
paid within two weeks after the beginning of the semester.

Students finishing at mid-term will not be allowed to participate in any school
functions for the rest of the school year except for the Graduation ceremony.

Please take note that prerequisites for certain courses are included. Do not
schedule a course with a prerequisite unless you have fulfilled the necessary
requirements.

The course directory contains brief descriptions of courses along with
necessary information as to grade level prerequisites. Honors and gifted are the
highest academic levels. On-level is the average academic level. Be sure that the
level of the course fits your abilities and you meet all requirements and
prerequisites.

Student schedules will be determined according to IGPs (5 year plan) and
your AOC (Area of Concentration)!!! Students will be held accountable for
choices once schedules are completed. Schedules will not be changed after the
first week of a new semester unless the change is approved by the Principal or
Assistant Principal. Contact your School Counselor before the end of May to
turn in your 5 year plans signed by parents.

Schedules will NOT be changed without parental approval!!!!!!!

Students may not receive credit for the same course twice.

An Area of Concentration (AOC) must be completed in order to be allowed to
graduate with a High School Diploma. Electives must be related to the student’s
AOC. This applies to the graduating class of 2013 and beyond.

In order for a student to complete an AOC he/she must take 4 primary
classes and 2 related classes. AOC descriptions are located on the next pages.

If you are interested in taking Advanced Placement classes, indicate your
desire on your schedule request and IGP!!!! Let Ms. LeBlanc know that you are
interested.

Dual Enrollment
Louisiana Early Start* Program
Dual Enrollment is offered through the Louisiana Early Start Program which provides tuition assistance to
eligible 12th grade students from public high schools that enroll in eligible college courses for dual credit at
an eligible public or private college or university.
Students must meet general eligibility requirements as well as course requirements to enroll in college
level, degree credit courses, enrichment/developmental courses or work skills/technical courses. Eligibility
is determined by the student’s PLAN and/or ACT test. The student must complete an application, submit to
the specific teacher and the teacher will submit to the appropriate college for credit.
A student may enroll in a maximum of 3 credit hours her semester, up to 6 credit hours per academic year,
with Early Start funding. (The student is responsible for additional enrollment costs if exceeding the 3
credit hours per semester limit, even if the student enrolls in more than one college or university.) A dualenrolled student is expected to follow the same withdrawal deadlines as any other undergraduate student
in the college or university. Students with an appropriate GPA who have earned dual enrollment credits
may be eligible to receive an academic endorsement on their high school diploma.
