COMMENCEMENT PARTICIPATION:
To be eligible to participate in commencement exercises, and/or to be involved in any
senior activity, a student must be on schedule to graduate May 1 (or the first regular
school day in May) and be a resident of the Hutchinson School District, or an enrollment
option student.
SCHEDULE CHANGES:
Students will be required to complete schedule changes before school starts or before
each trimester starts. Once the trimester begins, changes can only be made during the
first ten days of the trimester. Changes will be made on a case by case basis with
parent, student, counselor, and principal involvement.
EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS:
1.
Minnesota Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act (PSEO): The Postsecondary
Enrollment Options Act makes it possible for 11th or 12th grade public high school
students to attend a college or technical college either full or part time if the student meets
the post secondary institution entrance standards. The student will receive high school
credit for post secondary courses. Students are expected to inform the high school
counselor by March of their intent to participate in the program for the coming year.
Courses taken through this program and grades received will be figured in the student's
grade point average and class rank.
2.
Open Enrollment: Open enrollment allows students that reside in the Hutchinson School
District to enroll in another participating school district. Students may enroll in one public
school on a full time basis. The Open Enrollment application deadline is January 15 of the
year prior to enrollment.
3.
High School Graduation Incentives Program (HSGI): The High School Graduation
incentives Program enables all Minnesota students who have experienced or are
experiencing difficulties in the traditional education system to enroll in alternative
programs. HSGI defines eligible students as: Behind in school, or pregnant, or chemically
dependent or a parent. For more information contact your high school counselor.
4.
Area Learning Center: Hutchinson School District provides an Area Learning Center
primarily for students who have withdrawn from the regular day program. The Crow River
Area Learning Center offers programs for students 12-15 and 16 and over. Students 1215 may enroll in a day alternative program to meet their unique learning needs. Students
may apply through their counselor. Final placement must be approved by a committee of
school personnel.
Students 16 years and older may enroll in a night program if they meet certain entrance
requirements. This program meets four nights a week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Admission is initiated by contacting either the
director of the Center or your high school counselor. Each student who has withdrawn
from school must be out of school one marking period before he/she is eligible for
admission to the center -- exceptions include qualifying under provisions of the High
School Incentives Program or by permission of the high school principal.
7
Students who attend the Crow River Area Learning Center must satisfy Hutchinson High
School graduation requirements in order to receive a high school diploma.
Suggested Program Planning:
1.
Minnesota State University System High School Preparation Requirements: The
following pattern of courses is expected to be completed in grades 9-12 by students
seeking admission to a Minnesota State University:
A.
Four years of English (including composition, literature and speech)
B.
Three years of mathematics (2 years of algebra, of which one is intermediate or
advanced algebra, and 1 year of geometry).
C.
Three years of science (at least 1 year of a biological and physical science at least
one course including significant laboratory experiences).
D.
Three years of Social Studies (including 1 year each of U.S. history and
geography).
E.
Specified electives with three years chosen from at least 2 of the following:
(1) World Language (including non-English native languages and American Sign
Language)
(2) World Culture (including world cultures, area studies and cultural or ethnic
studies)
(3) The Arts (visual arts and the performing arts of theater, music, dance and
media arts)
2.
What if a student doesn't know if or where he/she will attend college: The pattern of
courses being required for admission to a Minnesota State University is consistent with the
requirements of the University of Minnesota, the University of Wisconsin system, and the
North Dakota State Universities as well as many other postsecondary institutions and
systems across the country. The only difference the University of Minnesota would add is
the emphasis on two to three years of study in the same World Language (Foreign
Language) and for the class of 2015 and beyond 4 years of math and science will be
required. In addition, this pattern of courses will support a student's ability to succeed in
life regardless of whether he/she chooses to pursue a postsecondary education.
3.
What about Private Colleges: High School preparation requirements/ recommendations
for students interested in private colleges are also consistent with number one.
4.
Qualifying admission standards vary among colleges, ranging from the very highly
selective schools that are looking for high achievement and test scores in applicants to
those open to virtually any high school graduate regardless of high school rank or test
scores. All colleges, however, look for student characteristics that include:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
5.
A good academic record in a solid college preparatory high school program.
Recommendations including support for academic growth.
Admission test(s)
Commitment or involvement in some school, extracurricular or community service.
Personal qualities such as energy, initiative, motivation, leadership and
creativity.
TESTS: Colleges expect every applicant to submit scores from at least one admissions
test which, along with high school records, would support the student's potential to handle
college level work. The three most commonly used admission tests include:
8
A.
B.
C.
1.
The American College Test (ACT) - offered in the junior or senior year, is the test
recommended for admission by most Minnesota and Midwest colleges.
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) - offered in the fall of the
junior year, is the test required for entrance into the National Merit Scholarship
competition (including college and corporate sponsored merit scholarships) and
accepted for admission by some Minnesota Colleges.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) offered in the spring of the junior year or fall
of the senior year is the test often recommended by eastern and western colleges
and required for students who are National Merit Semifinalists. Some students
may also need to write achievement tests (subject area tests) if applying to highly
selective colleges. Achievement tests and the SAT are both sponsored by the
College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) and are given on the same national
test dates.
2 Year State College Programs – what it takes to get in:
A. The two-year state community and technical colleges have an open admissions policy.
This means if you have a high school diploma or a GED, you can enroll.
B. Once you have been admitted to a community or technical college, you will be
required to take an assessment test. This is used to determine which English and
mathematics classes are appropriate for you.
C. You have a better chance to do well if you have completed two years of algebra and
one year of geometry. If you did not, or if you had minimum passing scores on the
Minnesota Basic Standards test, you will likely have to take non-degree credit
developmental or remedial courses before you can take college-level courses.
7.
What additional special requirements are there for a recruited athlete to a Division I
or II college or University:
The following information from the National Collegiate Athletic Association is directed to
all perspective student-athletes first entering a collegiate institution. To be considered a
qualifier at a Division I institution and be eligible for financial aid, practice and competition
during your first year a student must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse.
Students who want to participate in NCAA Division I or II athletics should start the
certification process by the end of their junior year or early in their senior year.
To be certified by the Clearinghouse, students in the class of 2008 must:
A.
Graduate from high school. Preliminary certification may be issued for students;
final certification will be issued only after final transcript receipt, including proof of
graduation.
B.
Earn a grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in at least 16 academic
core courses for Division I schools or 14 core courses for Division II schools:
9

experience for academically talented high school youth. Because of the advanced work level, students are
encouraged to attend special AP class sessions either before or after school during the semester when class does
not meet daily. This extra time better prepares the student for successful completion of the AP examination.
6. CLEP TESTS: Colleges offer students the opportunity to test out of various courses by taking a CLEP test. There
are 35 exams available. If you feel you have completed a rigorous course of study in a particular discipline, contact
the college of your choice to take an exam. The State of Minnesota will pay for up to six exams if you plan to attend
a Minnesota school. For more information visit www.collegebound.com/clep
5. What college credit can be earned through an AP course? Students writing an AP examination and earning a
score of three or above may receive the equivalent of 4-8 college semester credit hours or 4-12 college quarter
credit hours. Tests are scored on a 5-1 scale by a national committee.
6. What do AP exams cost and when are they taken? The fee is around $85 for each exam taken with testing
usually administered the second or third week in May. Financial assistance is available in the Counseling
Center.
Articulation:
Some courses at Hutchinson High School have articulation agreements with Ridgewater College. If you obtain a grade
of B or better in the class, or classes as a junior or senior, you could earn college credit at Ridgewater. These courses
are identified as “COLLEGE CREDIT “in the registration book.
College in the School:
The College in the School classes are taught by Hutchinson High School staff. College credit can be earned through
Southwest State University or the University of Minnesota. Students must meet the PSEO requirements in order to
register for these courses. These courses are identified as “COLLEGE CREDIT” in the registration book. Students
MUST rank in the top ½ of their class as a senior, or top 1/3 of their class as a junior (CIS Horticulture and CIS Animal
Science requires juniors to be in top ½ of their class).
Hutchinson High School has teamed up with Ridgewater College to offer its students a unique opportunity. Utilizing
different course options, Hutchinson High School student will now have the capacity to complete the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum (MnTC) through this agreement. The MnTC is a means by which students could transfer their completed
lower division general education requirements to any public university in Minnesota and outstate schools. Many majors
at a baccalaureate college require the generally agreed upon selection of courses that would be included in the MnTC.
Counselors will work closely with all students choosing to participate in this program to ensure that the correct mix of
courses is taken and to ensure the best possible transfer of courses. Additional information regarding this new program
will be available to all parents and students in the near future. Students will need to quality as a Post Secondary
Enrollment Options (PSEO) student.
