Dual Credit Classes for Scott High School-TRANSPORTATION from Scott! 
Many of the students at Scott High School continue to take advantage of the opportunity to take college classes while in high school. These "dual credit classes" result in students getting credit for the class on their school transcript as well as their college transcript.  
Transportation from Scott to NKU and Gateway 
Students in collaboration with Kenton County central office have arranged for coordinating busing back and forth from Scott High School to NKU and Gateway for 2016-2017 school year. YES -BUSING! We will be working with students this spring to best schedule classes at specific times to facilitate these opportunities for our students.  Pretty exciting! Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. 
Dual Credit Classes at Scott 
With an increased interest and participation in so many dual credit classes we have also increased the on campus opportunities for our students in 2016-2017.  The following dual credit options are available to Scott High School Students taught by Scott High School teachers who are adjunct professors at local colleges: 
  • English 101 
  • History 102, 103 
  • German 101, 102, 201, 202 
  • College Algebra 
Additionally, there will be several dual credit classes based at Scott High School taught by college professors from the university.

We are so excited to continue our strong start we've had so far this school year as we head into 2016. Scott will continue to be a place where great students do amazing things. We hope you will be a part of our community. Please let us know if you have questions or if we can help in any way. Thanks.

BECOME CCR

Become College and Career Ready (CCR)

Often you may hear a student or an adult ask the question "Are you CCR?", but what do they mean?  CCR is short for College and Career Ready.  This term is actually referring to two different categories: College Ready and Career Ready.
  • A student is considered College Ready when they demonstrate the minimum required level of performance on an approved assessment such as ACT, KYOTE, or Compass.  Achieving College Ready status implies a student is ready for education at the next level and will likely not be required to take remedial classes as a college student.
  • In order for a student to be considered Career Ready they must first achieve a College Ready Status, complete an approved Career Pathway, and pass an approved industry level assessment such as KOSSA.  Achieving Career Ready status may allow a student early acceptance into specific college programs as well as increase the chances of employment.
 For more information related to CCR please follow the links below:
FLIGHT PATTERN from Mrs. Ison
February 8th
College and Career Ready:Taxi to the Runway (11th Grade)
Part 2
By Deborah Ison

The Junior year in high school is traditionally the most difficult year for many students. By this point, good study and work habits are paying off or faulty ones are clobbering the student. The transcript produced this year is the one that students will send to colleges. Colleges will make initial decisions based largely on the JUNIOR transcript. Make sure it is good.

To prepare for college, 11th graders should:
  • Take the PSAT. The PSAT is used to determine National Merit Semi-Finalists:  BIG scholarship deal.
  • Take the ACT. If your scores are not what you want, take a test prep class and re-take the ACT until you have the scores you want.
  • Evaluate your options. You should be aware of the "field" in which you would like to find a career by now. You know what kind of work you enjoy and what kind of work you should avoid. Your ILP can help you narrow your choices.
  • You should have a solid list of about 5 colleges you would like to attend. By the end of the year narrow it to 3 colleges.
  • Take college visits. You will never know what fits unless you try it on.
  • Ask your counselor for some college recommendations. Again, your ILP will prove invaluable in your college search.
  • Talk to your parents seriously about finances and college. Loans are easy to get and HARD to repay. Scholarships are available, but will take a lot of your effort to win. Know what the FAFSA is and what tax records you will need to complete it.
  • Prepare for a CHALLENGING senior year. I cannot tell you how many parents have shared that their student nearly failed the first year of college because they had an easy senior year in high school.

GET INVOLVED
Are you wondering how you can get involved with activities as Scott High School? Would you be willing to volunteer time or provide input into issues and policies at Scott High School? We would love to get you more involved. Here are a few ways you could get involved:
* Principal Chat-Dr. Sapp has a question answer session each 2nd Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm. This "chat" takes place just before the SBDM meeting, so you could also stay for the council meeting as well.
 
* SBDM-Scott's School Based Decision Making Council meets each 2nd Tuesday at 6:00 pm. To view minutes, agendas, by-laws, and policies visit our website.
 
* Eagle Club-The Eagle Club is a parent group that meets each month that works through numerous programs to support Scott High School students. For more information visit the Eagle Club on the web.
 
* 4 C's Committee-The 4 C's Committee is a joint parent-teacher committee that meets in order to advise our SBDM council in the areas of Climate, Culture, Community, and Curriculum. If you are interested in participating, please contact RoxannePoole at roxpoole68@gmail.com
 
* Other Clubs-we have many clubs at Scott which are always looking for volunteers and additional community involvement. To see a list of clubs visit http://www.scott.kcactivities.org/ 
 
We look forward to hearing from you.
