Possible High School
Credit
In an effort to align with Cherokee’s Spanish
Program, middle school students will cover the
content that is taught in Spanish I during their
seventh and eighth grade years. In addition to
our district assessments, Cherokee’s midterm and
final will also be administered. At the end of
seventh grade, all students will take the midterm
exam. At the end of eighth grade, all students
will take the final exam. Students who excel in
World Language, and receive an overall A or B
average from the combined seventh and eighth
grade years, inclusive of exam grades, will
receive one year of high school credit in a World
Language, and be offered placement into
Cherokee’s Spanish II program.
