High School & Beyond Plan

What is a High School & Beyond Plan?

The High School & Beyond Plan is a formal process designed to help students think about their future goals and how to accomplish those goals. This includes exploring interests and career options, developing a course plan for high school, and exploring opportunities to develop skills. Students create their High School & Beyond Plan in cooperation with parent/guardian and school staff. Students will start their plans in 8th grade and then continue to revise them throughout high school to accommodate changing interests or goals.

Why is the High School & Beyond Plan important?

The High School & Beyond Plan provides students with the opportunity to explore their own skills and interests and discover potential career and educational options they may not have been aware of previously. It allows students to take ownership over their high school experience and choose coursework and activities that are relevant to their goals. The High School & Beyond Plan also provides a means of tracking requirements for graduation and postsecondary plans. It will guide a student's choice for the third credit of math, third credit of science and the development of personalized pathways.

What is the process for developing the High School & Beyond Plan?

The High School & Beyond Plan will be developed in collaboration between the student, parents/guardians, and school staff. Students will continue to develop their High School & Beyond Plans in selected classes throughout high school. The plans will be reviewed and updated annually online at Career Planner and the Four-Year Planner by the student, parent/guardian, and school staff to ensure the student is on track and that their goals are current.

How much student choice in involved?

4 elective credits + 3 PPR credits = 7 credits based on student choice

Also, the content of the third credit of math and the third credit of science are student choice, with the agreement of parent/guardian, counselor or principal. Some career and technical education courses have been determined to be equivalent to core requirements, thus allowing for greater flexibility in course selection.

Graduation Pathway Options

Graduation pathway options allow students to a pursue a personalized, meaningful education that results in a diploma and skills needed for college or career. All students can use new pathways, and they are equal in value.

CTE Sequence

*Complete a sequence of Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses.

Dual Credit 

Earn at least one high school credit in ELA and at least one high school credit in math in dual credit courses (Running Start, College in the High School, and/or Career and Technical Education dual credit courses).

AP/IB/Cambridge

For both ELA and math, earn a 3 or higher on certain Advanced Placement (AP) exams or a 4 or higher on certain International Baccalaureate (IB) exams or an E on certain Cambridge International exams, or pass the course with at least a C+.

SAT/ACT

Meet or exceed the graduation scores set by SBE in the math and ELA portions of the SAT or ACT.

ASVAB

*Meet standard on ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) by scoring at least the minimum established by the military for eligibility to serve in a branch of the armed services.

Combination

Meet any combination of at least one ELA and one math option of those pathway options listed previously.

Transition Course

Pass a transition course in ELA and math (for example, a Bridge to College course) which allows a student to place directly into a credit-bearing college level course.

State Assessment

Meet or exceed the graduation scores in the Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics or in WA-AIM (Washington Access to Instruction & Measurement).

*Note: Students who pursue these pathways (ASVAB or CTE) do not need to meet English and math requirements separately. English and math content are embedded in both pathways—and a student who meets either the ASVAB standard or the CTE pathway requirements has met the graduation pathway requirement

AP courses are college-level courses. They are engaging and rigorous, setting high academic standards and establishing behavior and study habits consistent with success in college. All AP courses are full-year courses and will prepare students to take the AP tests given in May.

GPHS offers a variety of AP courses; it is advised that students consider which courses will best serve their long-term goals in preparing for post high school success. Students should understand that they are enrolling in college-level courses. Students considering AP courses should talk with other students, teachers, counselors, and parents to make the choices that would best contribute to a successful high school and college career. We offer these courses as a demonstration of our commitment to excellence and intend that they will be a positive experience for all involved. The number of AP courses a student takes should also be considered. Please note that these courses require more of a time commitment to be successful.

The AP examinations are offered annually to give high school students opportunities to demonstrate college-level achievement. Please see the College Board for complete AP information. Benefits vary according to the college attended. Among these benefits are:

• Exemption by colleges or universities from beginning courses and permission for students to take higher-level classes in a specific field.
• Academic college credit awarded for examinations taken based on qualifying test scores.
• College tuition savings — credit may be given for qualifying AP test scores of three or higher (varies by institution).
• Eligibility for college honors and other special programs open to students who have received AP recognition.

AP classes offered are:

AP Art-Drawing, 2D, 3D
AP Biology

College in the High School (CHS)

There is no fee for students to enroll in a CHS or co-delivered dual credit course including College in the High School to earn only high school credit. Most College in the High School courses are five (5) college credits. There are no fees for CHS credits; however, students must register for courses according to the timelines set by the college. Registration is required and completed on the college website. The majority of our CHS courses are at Everett Community College. Please see the CHS page for application, registration dates and instructions.

Registering for college credit automatically starts an official college transcript. The college credit earned may count as an elective or academic credit depending on the receiving college’s transfer credit policies.

Running Start Program

Running Start is a partnership between the local community colleges and high schools and provides juniors and seniors the opportunity to take tuition free, college-level courses on the college campus. Students may then apply those credits toward both high school graduation and future college degrees. Books, fees, and transportation must be paid for by the family.

Admission to Running Start is based on test scores on a college skills test in Writing and Reading. Running Start students are encouraged to have: 

• Strong language and math skills
• Be motivated to succeed
• Have good study habits and adequate time for homework
• Be an independent learner and able to take personal responsibility for their education

Students are responsible for their own transportation.

Running Start students seeking a Glacier Peak High School diploma are required to complete high school graduation requirements by taking equivalent courses at the community college. An equivalency chart is available in the Counseling Office. Interested students can contact their high school counselor for further information. Deadline for fall admission varies by college.

Transcripts

The purpose of the Washington State Standardized High School Transcript is to communicate a student’s academic history for all high school level courses attempted including the courses, grades, schools, and other required data. Washington State public high schools are required to use the Washington State Standardized High School Transcript. An accurate record of a student’s academic history is essential and cannot include anything more than what is listed in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC)/Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and the Washington State Standardized High School Transcript Developer/User Guide (https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/ graduation/high-school-transcripts).

Beginning with the 2019-20 school year, RCW 28A.230.090(4)(a)(b) and WAC 180-51-030 require that all high school rigor courses taken and passed by students in grades 7 and 8, be awarded high school credit and placed on the high school transcript. The credits can be removed if requested by the student or parent/guardian prior to the end of the student’s grade 11 school year. District policy will determine the procedure for requesting the removal of these credits. At the request of the student or parent/guardian, credits that are to remain on the high school transcript may be transcribed with a non-numerical grade, e.g., Pass or Credit. The non-numerical grade is not included in GPA calculation, but the credit will apply to fulfilling graduation requirements. The grade can be changed to a nonnumerical value if requested by the student or parent/guardian prior to the end of the student’s grade 11 school year.

Need a copy of your transcript?

Students will be asked a few questions. After submitting the form, please allow 24 hours for processing. Transcripts can be picked up in the main office.

Scheduling Considerations

• To fulfill all graduation requirements within four years, students are encouraged to enroll in six classes each semester.
• One credit of TA or office aide may be earned in grades 9-12. Only one TA or office aide position may be held per semester.
• Late Arrival/Early Dismissal is granted to students who meet specific requirements. A Late Arrival/Early Dismissal form can be obtained in the Counseling Office. Students with Late Arrival/Early Dismissal may not be on campus during their Late Arrival/ Early Dismissal.
• Students who have failed a class need to meet with their counselor to discuss credit retrieval or summer school options to stay on track for graduation.
• The Course Catalog is a wealth of information to help students choose courses based on their future educational and career goals.

During registration students should carefully read course descriptions when choosing their alternate courses since most students will end up in at least one of their alternates.

Schedule Changes

• Students plan their courses with a counselor each year. After schedules have been created, schedule changes will be considered for the following reasons:
• Missing a graduation requirement (Seniors)
• Misplaced in a sequential class (Example: Placed in Art 2 but have not yet taken Art 1)
• Missing a class or period in schedule
• Depending on availability, counselors may be able to change electives, CTE, Art or PE classes, but will be unable to change teachers, lunches or core classes.
• If a student has a question about changing level, for example Honors/AP English to regular English, they should email their counselor.

Course Drops

After the first ten days of the semester, students may request to drop a class; however, the only option would be a no credit TA period until the tenth week. Students failing at the time of a drop will receive an “F” on their transcript. Students passing at the time of a drop will receive no credit and a “W” on their transcript. Students may not drop classes after the 10th week of each semester. Schedule changes will only be made for students that are placed into a course by error (repeated course or missing a prerequisite), missing a graduation requirement, or students that have a missing period in their schedule.

Waiving graduation requirements for class of 2025 and beyond

The Class of 2025 and beyond are required to earn 24 credits to graduate. Under unusual circumstances, a student may petition for a waiver of a graduation requirement. The principal will review all waiver requests. Check with the counseling office before you begin this process. Consideration of a waiver will be based on: 1. Substantiation of inability to take a required course; 2. All state statutory requirements being satisfied, and; 3. A copy of the student’s four-year plan which supports the need for a course waiver.

Special Education Services

Courses specifically designed for students who are on Individual Education Plans do not appear in the course catalog. Enrollment in such classes will be done by the IEP case managers in conversation with students and parents.

Grading Policies

In accordance with Washington State guidelines and Snohomish School District policy, if an incomplete grade (I) is given for a semester grade, it must be changed by the instructor to one of the grades listed below within 15 business days of the end of the semester. On the 16th business day after the end of a semester, incomplete grades not changed will automatically be changed to a grade of F.

A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0

College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) and Admission Standards

The Washington Student Achievement Council establishes minimum admission standards for four-year institutions in Washington state. These standards may differ from high school graduation requirements that are determined by the State Board of Education.

College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) reflect the minimum number of credits required in six subject areas that students must earn to be eligible for routine admission consideration by the four-year public baccalaureate institutions. Meeting the minimum college admission standards does not guarantee admission. Students are encouraged to go beyond meeting minimum college admission standards to improve their chances for gaining entry to a public baccalaureate institution.

College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) Coursework

English

4 credits including 3 credits of college preparatory composition or literature. One credit may be satisfied by courses in drama, literature, public speaking, debate, journalistic writing, business English, English as a Second Language, or learning support English. Not accepted: Remedial or applied courses, acting, basic English skills, developmental reading, library, newspaper staff, vocabulary, yearbook or annual.

Mathematics

3 credits: Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra II. Note: Successful completion of math through Pre-Calculus meets the requirement for 3 credits of math and the senior year quantitative math requirement (below).

Senior Year Math-Based Quantitative Course

During the senior year of high school, students must earn a credit in a math-based quantitative course. This requirement may be met through enrollment in one of the three required math courses listed above; or by completing a mathbased quantitative course like statistics, applied math, or appropriate career and technical courses; or by completing an algebra-based science course taken during the senior year that would satisfy this requirement and part of the science requirement below. Note: The senior-year math requirement does not mean a 4th credit of math is required, nor does it require a higher level of math; the intent is for seniors to take meaningful math. Exception: Completion of higher-level math prior to the senior year exempts students from the senior-year quantitative course requirement (Pre-Calculus and beyond).

Science

3 credits of science including two years of laboratory science are required for admission to public baccalaureate institutions. One credit must be in an algebra-based science course as determined by the school district. One credit must be in biology, chemistry, or physics (this course may also meet the algebra-based requirement). The principles of technology courses taught in Washington State high schools may apply toward the laboratory science requirement. Note: Most colleges and universities specify that one credit must be an algebra-based chemistry or physics course.

World Languages

2 credits must be earned in the same World Language, Native American language, or American Sign Language. Schools may award credit based on a district approved competency assessment consistent with the State Board of Education policy, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines, or the Washington State Seal of Biliteracy (RCW 28A.300.575).

Social Science

3 credits of history or other social science (Examples: world history, US history, anthropology, contemporary world problems, economics, geography, government, political science, psychology, or sociology.)

Arts

1 credit of art is required – or one credit beyond the minimum in any other CADR subject area. Acceptable course work in the fine, visual, or performing arts includes art appreciation, band, ceramics, choir, dance, dramatic performance and production, drawing, fiber arts, graphic arts, metal design, music appreciation, music theory, orchestra, painting, photography, print making, or sculpture. Note: The University of Washington and Western Washington University specify that one-half credit of this requirement must be in the fine, visual, or performing arts. The other half may be in the arts or in an academic elective. Some out of state schools may require a full credit of art in the same genre.

Standardized Entrance Testing

Most Washington colleges no longer require high school seniors to take standardized tests like the SAT or ACT. Check with each college directly for the latest admissions information. Test registration is online, by mail or phone. Registration information is available in the College and Career Center. The Snohomish School District will be offering the ACT (American College Test) free of charge for all high school juniors. The test will be administered during the school day on campus. This is an amazing opportunity for students to take a college entrance exam at no cost to families and for our school district to collect data that will help improve student learning. As a district, offering the ACT for free, reflects our commitment to eliminating barriers to career and college readiness. It is recommended that students take either the ACT or SAT in the spring of their junior year and then if necessary, again in the fall of their senior year. Juniors may take the Preliminary-SAT (PSAT) in October as practice for the SAT and to qualify for highly competitive National Merit Scholarships. Sophomores with high academic ability may take the PSAT; however, they will need to take it again during their junior year if they wish to compete for National Merit Scholarships.

Learn more about the ACT.

College Board has a complete list of universities that require SAT for admissions.

Prospective College-Bound Athletes

Potential athletes at NCAA Division 1 or 2 levels must complete a rigorous course of study beginning in 9th grade. Athletes must also meet or exceed college entrance requirements. For more information, visit NCAA Eligibility Center website and click on the register button. Glacier Peak approved core courses are available on page 12 and can be found on the eligibility center website.

Preparation for Community College or Technical/Vocational Schools

Whatever you’re interested in doing — whether transferring to a university, training for a career or getting the basics — Washington state community and technical colleges have classes, programs and majors for you. Washington offers broad access to students through its 34 community and technical colleges, whose open admissions policies are designed to eliminate barriers between students and postsecondary education. However, some admission standards do apply.

Get more information from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.

Students considering a community college or technical/vocational school should take challenging courses throughout high school to be adequately prepared for college level coursework. Unprepared students may need to pay full tuition for remedial classes at the community college, which will not count toward degree programs or transfer credits to a four-year university. Unprepared students attending technical colleges may need to pay full tuition for prerequisite classes for their desired program. As a result, it may cost students more money and take them longer to acquire degrees or certificates.

Financial Aid

State and Federal student aid is available by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application of State Financial Aid (WASFA). The application opens October 1 each year. Federal Aid is awarded in the form of grants, work study, unsubsidized/subsidized student loans and parent loans. State Financial Aid is awarded in the form of the Washington College Grant, College Bound Scholarship, state work study, Passport to Careers and the Opportunity Grant. Each institution has FAFSA deadlines, and it is recommended you complete the FAFSA as soon as it opens in October of your senior year.

The FAFSA website.

In addition to the FAFSA more than 400 colleges, universities, professional schools and scholarship programs use the CSS Profile (College Scholarship Service Profile). This is an online application for non-federal student financial aid. Check the College Board’s website for a list of schools and institutions that require the CSS Profile application.

Glacier Peak’s College and Career Center (in the library) has further information regarding financial aid and college scholarships.

Scholarships

Colleges, universities, businesses, organizations etc. offer scholarships to high school students. The College and Career Center posts scholarship opportunities on https://www.sno.wednet.edu/gphscareercenter.

Local Scholarship Program

The Snohomish Education Foundation manages multiple scholarships for Snohomish School District Students. Applications are available February of each year.

Local Scholarship Program

General Scholarships

A variety of businesses and organizations offer scholarships to students. Check with your employer/parents’ employer, clubs, or organizations you or they belong to. The washboard.org will connect you with scholarships just for Washington residents. National scholarship search engines such as goingmerry.com, bigfuture.com, fastweb.com and scholarship.com can help you find scholarships offered across the nation.

Institutional Scholarships

Most institutions (colleges, universities, tech schools) offer scholarships for their students. Once you apply to a college you can start applying for their scholarships. Check their website and Financial Aid office for opportunities.

The Arts are creative expressions using sound, image, action, and movement. They are a means to satisfy the human need to communicate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. The Arts engage those capacities most characteristically human — imagination, creativity, and the ability to conceptualize and solve complex problems — by stimulating thinking skills that are essential to learning.

A CHOICE HIGH SCHOOL

Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center, located near Paine Field in Everett, is a cooperative effort of 14 local school districts. The purpose of each program is to provide you with skills that will prepare you for entry-level jobs after graduation from high school or for related post high school education or training. Many students choose to obtain skill training so that they can earn more efficiently, as well as accrue experience hours, while they work their way through a four-year university in the field of their choice. For example, a registered Dental Assistant may earn $12 - $15/hour while pursuing a degree to become a dentist or orthodontist. That can be really helpful with today’s rising tuition costs!

All occupations are organized into six broad clusters or “pathways” based on tasks that are performed on the job. As students become more knowledgeable about themselves, they will tend to be more “comfortable” in one or two of the pathways. All Sno-Isle programs are found in one or more of the six pathways.

Students interested in attending Sno-Isle should have a good attendance record at their sending high school and should give careful consideration to their level of interest in making a commitment to a particular program. This is especially important because the programs are at least one year in length. Some programs extend the offer to return for a second year to those students who consistently demonstrate leadership, have excellent attendance, and are motivated to succeed.

Application to Sno-Isle is made in the late fall of each year for entrance into fall of next year’s classes. Application forms are available in November on the website at www.snoisletech.com. Sno-Isle works with your counselors to obtain your transcript and other records when you apply. Personal interviews for students submitting applications will be conducted at Sno-Isle and students are notified of their selection.

There are two sessions each day at Sno-Isle. The first session is from 7:55 to 10:25 each morning, and the students then return to their regular high school to attend afternoon classes. The second session is from 11:10 to 1:40 each afternoon with the students attending their regular classes at their regular high school in the morning. Transportation to Sno-Isle is provided by the district. Please note: some schools may attend Sno-Isle either in the AM Session, or the PM Session, but not both. Contact your counselor for more details.

Sno-Isle students complete their graduation requirements at their regular high school. Students can earn one and one-half credits each semester at Sno-Isle. Many Sno-Isle programs also offer core equivalency credit as well as free college credit opportunities. Students can receive more information by contacting their counselor.

Sno-Isle has articulation agreements with Everett Community College, Edmonds Community College, Everest College, Shoreline Community College, Lake Washington Institute of Technology and many other community and technical col- leges in the area. Through these agreements, students successfully completing selected Sno-Isle programs may receive college credit or a waiver on some learning requirements in a variety of college classes. Anyone planning to receive college credit for a Sno-Isle course must check with the Sno-Isle instructor for specific program requirements.

Class Fees Some classes have lab fees. If financial hardship is an issue for a student considering Sno-Isle TECH, please do not let this become a barrier. Scholarships are available to qualified students.

Additional fees, safety gear and uniforms may also be required. Fees are subject to change.
