Plan of Study Framework
Class pacing at THS is designed similar to college courses. There are four, 90 minute periods in a day, and a full course is completed in just one semester. There is also a 35 minute study hall period, Savage Time, where students can go to one of their four scheduled teachers and get extra time to work on assignments.
9th Gr. Classes
Must have 0-11 credits to be considered a Freshman.
10th Gr. Classes
Must have 12-23 credits to be considered a Sophomore.
11th Gr. Classes
Must have 24-33 credits to be considered a Junior.
12th Gr. Classes
Must have 34+ credits to be considered a Senior.
Requesting Schedule Changes
Schedule requests are initially created in March of the previous school year with student's advisors. It is highly advised to get schedules correct the first time because depending on availability, class size, popularity of said class seats will fill up quickly, and students will have to wait until the next semester to take the class.
Schedule changes are available the first week of the new nine weeks. Students must see their school counselor (Honsinger: 9th-10th Grade, Meyers: 11th-12th Grade) to make official changes to their schedule.
Reasons schedules will NOT be changed:
Wanting to be in the same class as friends
To change teachers

Keys to Completing Scholarship Applications:
Read the ENTIRE application.
If the application requires a transcript, request one from the main office.
Fill out all of the application under the student heading. Be sure to sign it and have your parent sign if required.
Complete the application neatly. When essays or written paragraphs are required, write (or type) them on separate sheets of paper. Polish them carefully, using good grammar and punctuation, then write them on the application to be sent. Messy or illegible applications can cost you money.
If you need a counselor or principal to complete part of an application, be sure your part is completed, and then submit it to the Counseling Office two weeks in advance when possible. Your counselor will make every effort to meet deadlines, but please help by submitting applications early.
When listing honors, offices held, and school/community activities, include everything in grades 9-12. If something is appropriate, include it. Also include any work experience.
Keep a college folder with photo copies of personal essays and letters of recommendation. General recommendation letters can be used several times if you have good quality copies, especially for local scholarships later in the year.
