GRANGER HIGH SCHOOL
2015-2016 COURSE CATALOG
This booklet provides information about the courses offered at Granger High School. Our highly qualified
faculty and staff work diligently to ensure a rich academic experience for every student. Granger is a
comprehensive high school, offering a range of courses that are intended to “graduate students who are
prepared with college and career-ready knowledge and skills to enter and contribute to the global community
as responsible citizens.”
At the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, Granger accepted ninth graders into its halls. This change
has provided ninth graders expanded opportunities and choices as they begin their walk toward college,
university and career training.
Parents and guardians, please take some time to review your student’s courses with them to ensure that
their high school experience meets their career interests and goals. Grades and performance in 9th through
12th grade count toward college and university applications, so it is important to maintain high performance
from the beginning.
High school is an exciting time, full of opportunities for students to engage in learning with great freedom and
possibility. It also is a stressful time and a time of challenge. Our hope is that your student will experience
tremendous growth and progress at Granger High. By the time they walk across that stage at graduation,
we know they will “sing hail to thee, our Alma Mater” as generations of successful Lancers have done.

STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN GRANGER BOUNDARIES The following is needed to enroll at Granger High: 1. Birth certificate: Granger High (and all district schools) require a birth certificate to ensure consistency in recordkeeping and to establish guardianship. 2. Proof of guardianship: Students must have a responsible parent or guardian who is legally responsible for the student listed on school records.

Proof of address: Parents or guardians provide a utility bill (gas, electricity, telephone) or evidence of mortgage or lease with the name of the guardian on it. If the parent or guardian is not listed on the lease or mortgage, a form is required to show that the guardian and student live in boundary. Homeless situations are handled through the school district’s homeless liaison (385-646-4678). 4. Proof of immunizations: Parents and guardians provide proof that their students have received proper vaccinations according to state law. The required immunizations are listed below: 4 DPT 3 Polio 2 MMR
STUDENTS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE GRANGER BOUNDARIES In addition to the documents required above, the following is required for students who live outside Granger boundaries: 1. Special permit application: Parents and guardians must fill out an open enrollment form and turn it in to Granger High School by the early open enrollment period which ends on February 20, 2015. The decision on Special Permits may be delayed until late spring each year while enrollment counts are analyzed. Late open enrollment requests will be evaluated as they come.
FOCUS ON GRADUATION AND CAREER GOALS
As a part of the enrollment process, school officials will obtain transcripts from previous schools. These transcripts will provide insight into the credits a student needs to graduate and prepare for a career. Your counselor will be available to help you choose the right classes to meet your goals. Pay special attention to the courses required for graduation.

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CONSIDERATIONS Students who are planning to enroll in a major university directly from high school will take four years of
English, three years of mathematics, two years of a natural/physical science. Some universities may require
two years or more of a foreign language. To ensure what core courses must be fulfilled, visit the Eligibility
Center website at www.eligibilitycenter.org. If you have any questions, or if you have a need for more
information, contact your counselor. Eligibility Center is an organization that works with the NCAA to
determine a student’s eligibility for athletics participation in his or her first year of college enrollment.
Students who want to participate in college sports during their first year of enrollment in college must register
with the Eligibility Center, located in Iowa City, Iowa. The Eligibility Center staff follows NCAA bylaws and
regulations in analyzing and processing a student’s high school academic records, ACT or SAT scores, and
key information about amateurism participation, to determine the student’s initial eligibility.
NCAA DIVISION I REQUIREMENTS If you enroll in a Division I college in 2008 or later and want to participate in athletics during the first year,
you must: Graduate from high school; Complete these 16 core courses: 4 years of English, 3 years of
mathematics (Algebra 1 or higher), 2 years of natural or physical science, 1 extra year of English, math or
natural or physical science, 2 years of social science, 4 years of extra core courses (from any category
above, or foreign language, no doctrinal religion or philosophy); earn a minimum required grade-point
average in your courses; and earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your course grade-point
average and test score sliding scale on page 9 from the Eligibility Center booklet. NCAA approved courses
are listed in the course offerings.
VALEDICTORIAN & SALUTATORIAN Many college scholarships and special recognitions are closely related to GPA. Certain classes however, are
more indicative of intellectual achievement and effort than are others. Therefore, the following procedure for
weighting the GPA will be used at Granger High School to determine Valedictorian and Salutatorian. CE
courses are not weighted.
GPA + .1 for each A.P. Class = WGPA
CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS
A 2.0 cumulative citizenship grade (CPA) is required for a student to participate in graduation
ceremonies and receive a Granger High Diploma. The student’s CPA is determined by the following:
Behavior - An uncorrected series of negative behaviors or one serious incident may result in a “0” in
citizenship.
Tardiness - On the fourth tardy from any one class, a student will not receive a grade higher than a “1”.
Truancy - Truancy is defined as a documented un-excused absence. For one truancy, the student will
receive a citizenship grade no higher than a “1”. For the second truancy, the student will receive a citizenship
grade no higher than a “0”.
0 - 3 Parent/legal guardian excused absences = Teacher will determine the Citizenship grade of 0 - 4.
4+ Parent/legal guardian excused absence = Student will receive a “0”, (four or more days of excused
absences within a grading period are considered excessive and will require a doctor’s note or other
documentation as requested by school administration to excuse subsequent absences).

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT (CE)
Concurrent enrollment classes are college level classes offered to juniors and seniors for both high school and college credit. These classes are taught at Granger High School by Granger faculty members who have been approved as adjunct faculty at Salt Lake Community College and Weber State University. This credit is transferable to all state-sponsored Utah colleges and universities. These classes are college level courses and students who enroll in concurrent enrollment classes should be prepared for the rigors of college work. The student will pay a one-time college registration fee of $40.00 for SLCC/WSU/UVU classes, tuition fees of $5.00 for each credit hour they enroll in and will also need to purchase their own textbooks. Important Considerations:
SLCC believes that in order for students to be successful in college courses, they must be able to read and comprehend textbooks and materials printed on an appropriate reading level and be able to solve appropriate level mathematics problems. SLCC has initiated in a prerequisite testing policy for students registering for college courses. This policy requires all college and high school students to demonstrate their abilities by participating in a college placement test. Appropriate test scores from either the ACT, SAT, or the college Computerized Placement Test (CPT) are accepted by SLCC for placement in college placement courses. Higher placement scores allow a student to participate in a wider variety of concurrent enrollment courses. The ACT test is offered six times throughout the year, these dates are available in the counseling center. Registration for the ACT is required five 5 weeks prior to the test. The CPT test will be offered at Granger High in the spring after school or at the SLCC testing center. Students must be registered as a student at SLCC before taking the test and are allowed only one opportunity to take the test at Granger High.
First-Time Concurrent Enrollment Students:
Before students will be allowed to register for a concurrent enrollment class they must be admitted to SLCC and/or WSU and/or UVU. In order to register students must pick up an application for admission in the bookstore, fill it out, and return it to the bookstore with the $40.00 registration fee (check made payable to Granger High School).
Continuing Concurrent Enrollment Students:
If you have already taken a concurrent enrollment class you do not need to pay or be admitted again, but you must still have your class selection card stamped at the bookstore before you turn in your card to the Counseling Center. You will also be required to pay the tuition fees of $5.00 per credit hour.

LITERATURE AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS

11, 12 Semester
Have you ever wondered why, in America—the
land of opportunity—there are many people who
have millions of dollars while others struggle to
provide basic necessities for themselves and
GRANGER HIGH COURSE CATALOG 36
their families? Why American prisons are at the
highest inmate capacity of all time? Or, why the
homeless population continues to grow? These
and other problems are often the result of social
structures that influence the way people act in
their everyday lives, determine who the “haves
and the have-nots” are, and how people are
punished for the crimes they commit. The study
of these social structures is called Sociology.
Authors can be our society’s best Sociologists
because they use their words in poetry and
prose to tell the stories of themselves and others
who are the perpetrators and victims of social
structures that create social problems such as
crime and poverty. This elective English class
will explore how authors write about social
problems and how we as Americans can help
stop these problems from affecting future
