Letter from the Superintendent
Dear Students and Parents,
The Greene County Board of Education and Greene County Schools are committed to preparing students for success
when they graduate from Greene Central High School. We want our students to be successful and competitive in
today's global economy. Students have tremendous opportunities today to earn credentials, college credit, and
complete coursework that will give them a competitive advantage when they begin their careers, go to college, or
enlist in the armed services. I encourage you and your student to take time to explore all the options available and
meet with a guidance counselor to review course selections. The Greene Central High School Course Catalog
provides the titles and descriptions of the courses we offer to assist you in choosing the most appropriate and
rigorous courses. Please read the information carefully and select your courses wisely. If you need additional
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Counseling Center at Greene Central.
High school students in North Carolina are currently required to take End of Course Tests (EOCs) in Math 1, Math
3, English II, and Biology. Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses have mandatory assessments. Other
assessments required by the state that counts in our accountability model include the ACT and WorkKeys
assessments. Students' attendance, class work, and performance on these assessments will be important measures of
student and school success. Please refer to the graduation requirements in the catalog to ensure that your child
graduates in their expected year. Again, if you need assistance, we are happy to help! On behalf of the Greene
County Board of Education, I want to wish you a successful high school career!"
Respectfully,
Dr. Frank Creech

Superintendent
Greene County Schools

Mission Statement
Greene County Schools will be a model 21 st Century School system focused on student achievement in order for all
students to graduate prepared for college, the workforce, and life as global citizens.

The Registration Process
This curriculum guide is designed to assist students and their parents with planning and implanting a high school
curriculum path. All students and parents should give deliberate thought to the student’s aptitude, interests, and
plans for the future as they select their courses. The final school schedule is based on student requests. Some
courses may not be offered if there are insufficient student requests. Choose alternate elective courses carefully
because they are considered part of the final selection process. Greene County Schools will do everything possible
to assist students in reaching their goal of graduating on time; however, it is the responsibility of students and
parents to make sure they have the correct credits needed to graduate. If they are unsure of the credits needed for
graduation, they should contact their school counselor. Each Counselor will meet with their caseload to review the
student’s course selections, and to make sure their selections are in line with their postsecondary goals and
graduation requirements.
New students who have been previously enrolled at another high school will receive assistance in selecting a
schedule of classes that is most complementary to the students’ existing record. A comparison of curriculum
sometimes makes this process difficult and students who enroll in the middle of a semester cannot be guaranteed the
opportunity to complete a full set of credits. Core area courses must be taken in sequence.

College Preparatory Examinations
PSAT
This test serves as practice for the SAT. There is a reading, writing & language, and math section. It takes
approximately 3 hours to complete. The PSAT is given to all 9th graders during the school day in the spring
semester.
SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test)

This test is given by the College Board and includes sections in critical reading, mathematics, and writing. The
verbal section includes short reading passages and longer reading passages to measure your ability to
understand what you read and the extent of your vocabulary. The test also includes sentence completions, and
critical reading. The mathematical questions include arithmetic/algebraic reasoning and geometric reasoning,
and concepts from Math 3. The writing section includes multiple-choice grammar questions and a student
written essay. For more information, free test prep, and to verify test dates, visit: www.collegeboard.org
PRE-ACT
This test serves as practice for the ACT. It is an education and career planning assessment that can identify
whether students are prepared for success in college and beyond. In addition to the English, Math, Reading,
and Science sections, there is a 72-item interest inventory to help students explore personally relevant career
options. The Pre-ACT is given to all 10th graders during the school day in the fall semester.
ACT (American College Test)

The ACT includes four curriculum-based multiple-choice tests that measure students’ educational
development in English, mathematics, reading, and science. The tests are based on the major areas of
instruction in American high schools and colleges. A student’s performance on the tests has a direct and
obvious relationship to his or her academic development. The ACT also offers an optional writing test, which
is expected by most colleges. The ACT (with Writing) is administered to all 11th graders during a school day
in the spring semester. For more information and to verify test dates, visit www.act.org
Scholarships and Financial Aid

Most financial assistance is based on need, not merit. Students who demonstrate a certain level of academic
achievement, athletic or artistic accomplishments are also eligible to receive financial assistance, where it
could possibly be of no cost to them to attend a school of their choosing. Your parents’ employee benefits,
military service, trade union, civic or fraternal association membership, social security benefits, or church
affiliation may also serve as a source of money for college. If you will need financial aid (and most students
do), check the financial aid guides, scholarship guides, and Scholarship List on the counseling center’s website
(gchscounselingcenter.weebly.com). Parents and students are encouraged to use these materials. Scholarship
competition can be very competitive. Plan ahead. You will need excellent grades, GPA, class rank, community
and school activities, and recommendations. Leadership, scholarship, and involvement are extremely
important if you want to compete for major scholarships. You may be eligible for financial assistance because
of need, achievement, athletic or artistic accomplishment, your parents’ employee benefits, military service,
trade union, civic or fraternal association membership, social security benefits, church affiliation, etc. To apply
for federal and state aid, students should complete the online FAFSA at www.studentaid.gov.

Testing
End-of-Course Tests (EOCs)
These tests are required by the state of North Carolina in Math I, Math III, English II, and Biology to meet the
requirements of No Child Left Behind. Each End-of-Course test will count as 25% of a student’s final average in
the course. Students must take the EOC in order to receive credit for the course. EOC’s are administrated at the
conclusion of the course.
Pre-ACT
This test is administered to all sophomores in the fall of each year. It is designed to show readiness for the ACT.
ACT
The ACT is a national college admission and placement examination. It is composed of two portions:
The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, Mathematics, Science and Reading.
The Writing Test measures skill in planning and writing a short essay.
The ACT is administered to all juniors, free of charge, in the spring semester.
Advanced Placement Tests

AP Tests, which are administered in May, are required for those students who are enrolled in Advanced Placement
courses. College credit may be earned by obtaining the minimum score(s) required by a given college. Students
should consult their specific AP instructor for information.
WorkKeys
ACT WorkKeys is a job skills assessment that measures foundational and soft skills attained through all high
school courses. The test is utilized for job development, recruitment, placement, and training. ACT Workkeys is
targeted for large-scale employment placement and is designed to provide students with an understanding of the
skills required for specific occasions

Dropout and Driver’s Licensing Legislation
STUDENTS WHO ARE AFFECTED
The legislation is directed to all North Carolina students under the age of 18 who are eligible for a driving
permit or license. This includes public school, federal school, home school, private school, and community
college students. A student who 1) does not meet academic progress standards or 2) drops out of school
will either not be granted the Driving Eligibility Certificate or will lose his/her permit/license.
DROPOUTS
Students who drop out of school are not eligible to receive a Driving Eligibility Certificate from the school. A
student who drops out of school and holds a driver’s permit/license will be reported to the Division of Motor
Vehicles according to the following procedures:
• Ten business days after the student fails to return to school or stops coming to school
• The student will be withdrawn, and the principal will notify the parent/guardian that the student is
considered a dropout. This notification will be via regular mail using the student’s address as
recorded in PowerSchool.
• The letter will outline the consequences of dropping out of school regarding driver’s eligibility and
explain the procedures for requesting a hardship waiver. The principal shall send this letter within 12
business days after the student’s last day in attendance.
• Parents/students will have 20 business days from the student’s last day in attendance to submit a
hardship waiver request form to the principal.
TRANSFERS
A student who is making adequate progress in school can transfer to a community college or a nonpublic
school without any consequences. A student who is not making adequate progress (or drops out of school)
and enrolls in a community college or a non-public school cannot be granted a Driving Eligibility Certificate
for a period of six months.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student must earn 3 credits out of the 4 possible credits during the first semester of school in order to
receive and/or maintain driver’s license eligibility. At the conclusion of the school year, grades from first and
second semester are used to determine eligibility. One must earn 6 credits out of the 8 possible credits to
receive and/or maintain eligibility at the conclusion of the school year.
CHECKLIST FOR OBTAINING A LEARNER’S PERMIT

 Driver Education Certificate.
 Driver Eligibility Certificate from the school. Certificate issued by school principal or designee only to
parent or legal guardian and is good for only thirty days. Certificate issued based upon satisfactory
academic progress.

 Parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the application & proof of residency.
 Pass a written, sign, and vision test.
 Must pay a $21.50 fee. 12
What is the Advanced Placement Program?
The Advanced Placement Program is an academic program of college-level courses and examinations for
secondary school students. The College Board sponsors the Advanced Placement Program, which offers
students the opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in high school and to possible receive
college credit. The curriculum of an Advanced Placement course is challenging and requires more effort and
homework on the part of the student than a standard honors high school course. It gives greater opportunity
for individual progress and accomplishment and goes into greater depth with the academic material of each
individual course. The real educational value of this program is that students develop critical thinking skills,
fluid writing abilities, and problem-solving skills. AP Students learn to deal with strenuous, traditional
academic settings and ultimately achieve at high levels. It is recommended that students take no more than
two Advanced Placement courses in a single school year. Those enrolled in Advanced Placement courses
must take the AP exam.
Recommended criteria for the Advanced Placement Program

Student motivation and commitment to complete the course
Student understanding of what is expected in an Advanced Placement course
Student’s overall GPA indicates high achievement (B’s or better in core academic courses)
Student should have appropriate skills in reading and writing
Student must have completion of prerequisite courses where applicable
Student must have successful past performance in courses in the same subject area
Distance Learning
Online courses are delivered through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS). Course listings,
descriptions and more information about online courses are offered through the NCVPS are available at
www.ncvps.org. Students interested in taking courses through NCVPS will have to complete an application
and be approved by an administrator. Please pick up an application in the counseling center along with any
additional information.

Admission to these courses for continuing high school students requires an 80 average in the previous honors
course or a 90 average in the previous standard course. Advanced Placement Courses have the same
requirements as noted above. Students may take an Advanced Placement Exam at the end of the course. A
passing AP exam score may result in college credit. Students will want to consult admissions information for
prospective colleges and universities to determine the score required by the institution for award of college
credit. Dual Enrollment courses have specific admission requirements set by Lenoir Community College and
are noted in this curriculum guide.
