THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
As you select courses for the next year, you will need to take
into account graduation requirements, college admission
standards, and your own academic performance. The
information provided on these first pages is important as you
make decisions. Students are responsible for scheduling
courses to comply with graduation requirements. Please
contact your counselor if you need assistance. Current and
former teachers are an excellent resource for determining
courses such as Advanced Placement, honors and the sequence
of courses. The following is an outline of the registration
process:
1. Counselors will distribute course registration
materials to current students by grade level.
2. Course registration will be done through
Skyward Family/Student Access. Directions and
an online tutorial will be available on the HHS
website to walk you through the online
registration process.
Every attempt will be made to meet all requests, but in some
cases, scheduling conflicts will occur. Students should
register for at least two alternate courses. No courses changes
will be allowed after three days.
COURSE CHANGES
Each year, Hortonville High School creates a master schedule
for the following school year which reflects students’ course
requests made during course registration. Faculty members
are employed, textbooks are purchased and rooms are assigned
on the basis of these requests, thus, once a student enrolls in a
course, he/she is expected to remain in the course. Careful
consideration of course selection by the student and parent
with input from the counselor prior to course registration is
critical to this process.
Students requesting a course change will need to complete a
“Schedule Change” request form. The form must be
completed before any change will be considered. Schedule
changes cannot be made if there are no seats available in
course requested. Schedule changes that only involve a
teacher change will not be considered, unless a letter from
a parent is attached giving specific reasons, which will then
be reviewed by the administration. Schedule changes
requested after the 3-day time period, may result in the student
receiving an F for the course. A course may be changed for
the following reasons:
Medical excuse with physician documentation,
Early Graduation plans (Completed Application)
Acceptance into the Youth Options program (Grades
11 & 12), (Schedule from Post-Secondary School),
School Supervised Work Release (Completed
Application & Job)
Summer School Class (took class over the summer),
Significant changes to a student’s post high school
plans.
Course needs to be added to meet a graduation
requirement.
All other reasons will be taken under consideration by the
Counselors and Administration.
Seniors requesting a schedule change will need to make sure
all colleges/universities admission status is not compromised
by the changes. Universities have informed the school, that if
you have been accepted and you change your courses without
their acknowledgement, your admission status may be
compromised.
LATE ARRIVAL/EARLY RELEASE
The privilege of “Late Arrival/Early Release” shall be granted
second semester to Hortonville High School seniors who meet
the academic, attendance, and discipline standards set forth by
the Hortonville Area School District Board of Education.
Please reference Policy #5461 for more information. Seniors
must enter a course request for Late Arrival 1st hour (8056) or
Early Release 8th hour (8060). Senior students who qualify
will be allowed one hour a day. If you do not enter a request
for one of these hours at the time of course registration, your
schedule most likely cannot be changed to accommodate the
release.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
SCHEDULING
Know the Graduation Requirements (page 5).
Students are required to enroll in a minimum of six
classes one semester and seven classes for credit the
other semester (a minimum of 6.5 credits per school
year).
Many classes have prerequisites that must be taken prior
to enrolling in the class.
Choose your electives carefully. Course changes may not
be available to you after schedules are made.
A course may not be used to complete a credit
requirement in more than one area.
Seniors must pass a minimum of five credit classes per
semester for graduation.
All students must meet their 36 hours of community
service.
COURSE FEES
Some courses have enrollment fees to cover the cost of
consumable supplies and resources used by students.
Fees are listed with the course descriptions. Technology
Education and Art fees vary from student to student
depending on the cost of materials for the projects the
student selects. (The School Board may also raise
course fees when adopting the school district budget).

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
During the four years of high school, students are
establishing an educational foundation for their future.
This may include immediate employment after
completing high school, enlistment in one of the military
services, or post-high school education or training.
Factors which are important for each student’s future
are:
1. The selection of courses while in high school.
2. The grades received which determine the grade point
average and the student’s rank within the class.
3. The attendance record which includes both
absenteeism and tardiness.
4. The activities in which a student has participated,
both in and outside of school; the personal
recommendations of teachers, counselors, and
administrators.
Careful selection of high school courses is essential for
students considering post-high school education, which
may include colleges, technical schools, and military
academies. Please consider carefully the following
recommendations as they may affect your future plans.
POST HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION
PLANNING
1. Always check the website, catalog or brochure of the
school in which you are interested and select courses
necessary to meet the entrance requirements of that
particular school. Counselors can also help you
interpret admission requirements.
2. Students planning to attend a college or university
may want to take the Preliminary Scholastic
Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test (PSAT/NMSQT) as juniors. This examination
helps students to assess and compare their verbal and
mathematical reasoning abilities. It can also provide
students with an estimate of their probable
performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
which is a college entrance examination, and is the
qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship.
See your counselor for details.
3. Colleges may require the American College Test
(ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) as
entrance examinations. If either is required, we
suggest that you take it in the spring or summer after
your junior year or no later than the fall of your
senior year. The ACT will be administered at HHS
to every junior, at no cost to the student.
4. Students planning to attend a college or university
should plan to take algebra, geometry, and advanced
algebra and are encouraged to take as much
mathematics as they can successfully complete. Post
high school programs vary in their mathematics
requirements for admissions.
5. Students should consider taking chemistry and
physics. If a scientific or medical field is
considered, student should take as much science as
possible depending upon interest and school
requirements. Always check the website, catalog or
brochure of the school in which you are interested.
6. Although not all colleges require a foreign language
for admittance, many schools require it for college
graduation. These schools usually accept high
school foreign language as one way of meeting their
foreign language requirement. Students should
always consult the specific college requirements.
7. If students know what interest areas they are going to
pursue, they should take the advanced courses
offered in the high school curriculum.
8. Students should be aware and consult with their
counselor about opportunities for college credit
through:
a. Advanced Placement (AP) Courses
These college-level courses taken at
Hortonville High School enable students to
receive college credit if they elect to take and
pass the AP exam.
b. Cooperative Academic Partnership Program
(CAPP) Courses
CAPP is an agreement between the
University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and
Hortonville High School. It provides
students in grades 11 and 12 opportunities to
take college level courses at Hortonville High
School if they meet UW-Oshkosh
requirements. To enroll in CAPP, students
need to meet ONE of the following
requirements:
Class rank in the top 25% of their class
Have a 3.25 GPA or higher on a 4.0
scale
Have an ACT score of 24 or higher
AND be either in the upper 50% of their class
OR have a GPA of 2.75 or above.
For exceptional students who do not qualify
under the above guidelines, a Teacher
Recommendation Form may be submitted.
By completing introductory college courses,
students are often able to move directly to
more advanced courses when they get to
college. Students will receive dual credit for
CAPP coursework – high school credit as
well as college credit. High school teachers
give the high school grades. The university
grade is recorded on the student’s university
transcript. Credit earned in CAPP is
7
transferable to other institutions which accept
regular University of Wisconsin credit.
There are, however, schools that do not
accept transfer credits. It is the responsibility
of each individual student to inquire at the university
he/she is planning to attend as to the transferability of
CAPP credits.
c. College Credit in High School (CCIHS)
CCIHS is an agreement between the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and
Hortonville High School. This concurrent
enrollment program offers college credit
courses within high schools and provides
opportunities for academically qualified high
school students to engage in college-level
learning experiences. Taught by qualified and
approved high school faculty, students pursue
rigorous advanced subjects and earn college
credit upon successful completion. Student
course eligibility criteria are determined by
UW-Green Bay in collaboration with
participating high schools. For more
information, please us the following link:
http://www.uwgb.edu/ccihs/html/studentInfo.a
sp
d. Technical College Tech Prep Hortonville High School has an agreement with
Fox Valley Technical College whereby certain
classes taken at Hortonville High can provide
eligibility for advanced standing for a student
who pursues an associate degree or technical
diploma at FVTC. (See class listing for
Hortonville’s advanced standing courses with
FVTC.) NOTE: Fox Valley Technical College
will make the determination of awarding
advanced standing. Hortonville High School has
also articulated with FVTC for transcripted
(dual) credit. In addition to receiving a high
school transcript, grades are posted an official
technical college transcript and tabulated in the
student’s technical college GPA. (See class
listing for Hortonville’s transcripted credit
courses with FVTC.)
e. Youth Options/Course Options Youth Options is an opportunity for juniors and
seniors to earn credits on-site at a local technical
college/university campus. Participating in
Youth Options requires approval by the high
school counselor principal and post-secondary
school. For a four-year college course, students
must be in the top 25% of their class. For the WI
Technical College system, students must have a
minimum of a 2.0 GPA to be considered a
student in good standing. See page 45 for
additional information.
Course Options is an opportunity for students
who are enrolled in a Wisconsin public
school district to apply to take up to two
courses at a time at an Educational
Institution. More information can be found
at http://dpi.wi.gov/courseoptions.
9. Colleges and universities help qualified students who
have financial need by offering scholarships,
grants, loans, and employment programs. For
further information, contact the specific financial
aid offices at colleges or universities that you have
10. Students may have questions about their future
educational plans. They are encouraged to make an
appointment with their counselors. Parents are
encouraged to attend the Junior Planning
conferences with their student and their student’s
counselor.
11. Please visit the HHS Counseling Webpage at the
College Planning tab for links to the University of
Wisconsin System, the Wisconsin Technical College
System, and the Wisconsin Association of Private
Colleges & Universities for specific admissions
requirements by school. You could also go to the
website of the specific educational institute you are
interested in.
12. If you are a college-bound student athlete, you will
also find links for NCAA and NAIA eligibility
information on the Counseling Webpage.
ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION
The Hortonville Alternative High School Program
provides direct services to grades 10, 11 and 12. Three
full-time teachers staff the program. The instructors are
responsible for coordination of the program with the
main building, day to day operation, supervision and
teaching of students under direction from the high school
administration.
Alternative Education uses curriculum aligned with the
essential learning standards created by the departments
at HHS. Students work independently in a self-paced
environment. Students may also take classes at the main
building.
Entrance: Students are referred by School
Counselors, Administration, Parents, Teachers, or
student self-referral through the Counseling
Department.
Student eligibility is assessed based on status of “Legally
at Risk” according to Wisconsin state statute, need for
credit remediation, as well as other educational and/or
personal factors that indicate the need for support. The
Alternative Education teachers interview candidates
prior to each semester. Placement in Alternative
Education is voluntary and enrollment is limited.
