On Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m., Peebles High School will conduct a post-secondary option meeting for parents and students who wish to consider either post-secondary option education for the 2011-12 school year or dual credit classes as in-house post-secondary classes for 2011-12.
Both types of course work provide both high school credit and college credit if the student meets both Adams County/Ohio Valley requirements and those requirements of the college for which the student and parent file their required intent.
Lisa Copas, enrollment coordinator at Southern State Community College, will present a power-point program on post-secondary education. Other colleges will also be represented to review the requirements of their school with parents and students. Jim Branham, guidance counselor at PHS, will go over the school requirements of both the regular post-secondary and in-house post-secondary (dual enrollment), along with the mandatory filing of an internet form by the parent and student by the March 30 state-wide deadline.
Parents and students both must sign off on their intent form that information has been provided to them by the counselor and that they fully understand the positive and negative implications of a student doing post-secondary. They have until March 30 to file this intent with the counselor but are under no obligation to follow through with post-secondary if they choose not to do so.
This year, even if the student has previously been in either program, a new intent is mandatory by the March 30 deadline established by the state of Ohio.
Information materials, intent forms, college registration forms (which must also be signed by the counselor), etc. will be provided at the meeting.
Admission forms will be provided by such colleges as Southern State Community College, Shawnee State University, U.C. Clermont College, OU Chillicothe, and Chatfield College.
Any student and parent not attending this meeting required by the state must arrange with the counselor an appointment for both the student and parent to meet with the counselor and review school and college requirements.
No college can enroll a student in post-secondary if the student has not met the local school requirements. Though a student participates in post-secondary, he/she is enrolled in the home high school and recognizes that the first priority must be to meet high school graduation requirements of the school district.[[In-content Ad]]
