The Hoke County High Schools’ Mission Statement is “All Hoke County Schools’ students will
graduate from high school globally competitive for the world and post-secondary education and
prepared for life in the 21st Century.” Our mission embraces the definition of College and Career
Readiness as defined by ACT, Inc. College and Career Readiness is the acquisition of the knowledge
and skills a student needs to enroll in and succeed in credit-bearing first-year courses at a
postsecondary institution (such as a two- or four-year college, trade school, or technical school)
without the need for remediation. Remediation means that a student may be required by a college to
take courses to acquire skills that he or she should have learned in high school.
We are proud to implement Governor Purdue’s Career and College Promise Program, College Readiness
Assessments (EXPLORE, PLAN, ACT and WorkKeys), Advanced Placement opportunities, the 3R’s;
Rigor, Relevance, Relationships and more. The planning guide will provide you with a comprehensive
menu of information that is needed to prepare you for high school and beyond.
We are excited that you are moving into the most rewarding experience of your educational career. For
the next four to five years, you will attend one of our high schools. Our school system offers three
different choices: Hoke County High School, Turlington Alternative School and SandHoke Early
College. High School is the next step of preparing you for your future career. The high school
experience will provide you with an opportunity to select rigorous academic courses, to experience job
readiness skills and to develop peer and adult relationships. Our administration and staff are looking
forward to teaching and equipping you with the necessary skills to become productive citizens in the 21st
Century.
The choices you make will impact your future education and future job opportunities. This planning
guide is designed to help you, the student, plan your program of study from the variety of courses
offered at Hoke County High Schools. Regardless of whether you plan to pursue a college degree, attend
technical school, join the military, enter an apprenticeship program or join the workforce immediately
after high school, the courses you choose in high school will have a definite impact upon your success
once you graduate. Ask for assistance from parents, counselors and teachers as you consider the various
options. They can be very helpful to you so that you make the most of your high school years.
Please take time to review the curriculum guide, and depending upon your post-high school goal(s),
chart the courses you might possibly need to take during all four years of high school. For those of you
who will be in the 10th, 11
th, or 12
th grade next year, it’s not too late to plan your remaining time. But, do
it now! For those of you who are entering 9th
grade now is the perfect time to plan ahead. Do you need
help in making a decision? Talk to your parents, counselors, teachers and other adults who work in
various occupations. Explore these online resources www.careercruising.com, http://www.f4k.org/ and
www.CFNC.org.
If you have not completed the interest inventory and a learning style assessment in Career Cruising,
please make plans to do so within the next five days. The more knowledge you have of options, the
better planning you can do. Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe, but the payoff is having a better idea of
where you might be headed and how to get there. It can be fun too!
We’re glad you are a student in the Hoke County School System. Please let us know how we can assist
you. For general guidelines, you may contact the school counselor.

The Hoke County Schools Planning Guide contains information needed for you to register for high
school. It is designed to help you and your parents or your guardians make the best choices for your high
school education. You will find several exciting options for you as a high school student in the guide.
Please read it carefully with your parents or your guardians.
Beginning in the spring semester, counselors and teachers will assist students in the selection of courses
for the following year. Parents are encouraged to contact their child’s counselor to assist in this process.
Students may select courses from: English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies,
Fine Arts, Career Technical Education, Health and Physical Education, Junior Reserve Officers Training
Corps (JROTC) and Exceptional Education.
Following completion of registration and development of the master schedule, parents will be provided
with a copy of the courses selected by the student. Please note that courses will only be available if
enrollment is sufficient. If any course is cancelled, students will be notified and an alternate course
scheduled.
The administration has designated June 28, 2013 as the last date for adding or dropping courses.
There will be absolutely no changes after this date, unless initiated by the counselor or principal for
the following reasons:
1. The student failed a pre-requisite for the course, or
2. The student needs the course to complete graduation requirements, or
3. The student has taken and successfully completed the course.
Students must complete all courses, credits and test requirements of at least one Course of Study to earn
a high school diploma. The Courses of Study are designed to prepare students for postsecondary
opportunities from entry-level career options to highly technical fields, from community colleges to
colleges and universities. Students are encouraged to pursue the most challenging Course of Study in
which they can be successful.
The Online Registration Tool known as the Course Planner Module is a feature within the Futures for
Kids Program. Futures for Kids (F4K) is an online tool that allows the student a safe and fun way to
explore and find careers that match their unique interest and abilities. The website features online
mentoring, interactive career counseling, newsletters, skill and career matching support. It links to a
wide assortment of educational opportunities and powerful search engines to help students and their
families easily navigate the information and make good decisions.
Freshman through juniors must schedule a minimum of eight courses. Students may register for eight
courses, including P.E., to take advantage of the numerous course offerings at Hoke County High
School and to better prepare for the future.
Students who move into the district must complete the enrollment process at the school. The parent must
accompany the student at the time of enrollment. Proof of residency, health record, and birth certificate
will be required. Official record can be brought by the parent at the time of enrollment or requested by
the registrar. Until this information is received, a student will not be officially enrolled in Hoke
County High School.

“All students, no matter where they live, must graduate with
the skills they need for a career, two-or four-year college or
technical training.” Gov. Bev Perdue
http://www.careercollegenc.org/docs/CareerCollegePromise.pdf
Gov. Perdue’s Career & College Promise
In today’s global economy, successful careers could require a two- or four-year degree, a
diploma or a nationally-recognized job credential.
Gov. Bev Perdue’s Career & College Promise offers North Carolina high school age students a
clear, focused and affordable path to future success. Qualified North Carolina high-school age
students can begin their two- or four-year college work, tuition free, while they are in high school
allowing them to get a head start on their workplace and college preparation.
The program is free to all students who maintain a “B” average and meet other eligibility
requirements.
Career & College Promise provides three pathways to help advance eligible students’ post-high school success:
College Transfer – Earn tuition-free course credits toward a four-year degree through North
Carolina’s community colleges. Students who complete a 44-hour credit program will be
able to transfer all of their credit to all UNC institutions and many of NC’s Independent
Colleges and Universities.
Technical Career – Earn tuition-free course credits at an NC Community College toward an
entry-level job credential, certificate or diploma in a technical career.
Innovative High Schools (limited availability) – Begin earning tuition-free college credits as
a high-school freshman by attending a Cooperative Innovative High School.

HOKE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
Advanced Placement Courses Expectations
and Student Accountability Congratulations for considering the challenges and opportunities that
Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer. Research has shown that
students who participate in AP courses outperform others in college,
particularly in grades and graduation rates. Hoke County Schools
believes that all children deserve access to the rigor of advanced
coursework and can be successful with the appropriate support. The
purpose of this document is to better prepare students and parents for
AP courses. We want to provide our students and parents with
information to assist them in determining which AP courses will be most
beneficial for the student.
Why Take Advanced Placement Courses?
Taking the College Challenge with the AP Program:
AP courses are comparable to first-year college-level courses in a wide variety of subject areas that
students can take while still in high school. AP courses are usually more demanding than regular high
school courses. They are not easy, but they aren’t impossible either. They offer students challenging
course work and a taste of what college classes are like. Research consistently shows that students who
score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success and increased college
graduation rates than students who do not take AP courses.
What the AP Program can do for You:
Confidence – AP courses help students develop better study habits, improve writing skills and sharpen
problem-solving skills – giving students the confidence to tackle academic challenges they can expect in
college.
Credit – Most four-year colleges in the United States and colleges in more than 60 other countries give
students credit, advanced placement or both on the basis of AP Exam scores. By entering college with
AP credits, students will have the opportunity to move into upper level courses, pursue a double-major
or study abroad.
'If you can change your mind, you can change the world.'
Joey Reimer
17
College Success – Research consistently shows that students who are successful in AP courses typically
experience greater academic success in college.
Scholarships – Taking AP courses increases a student’s eligibility for scholarships. Thirty-five (35)
percent of colleges and universities consider a student’s AP experience when making decisions about
which students will receive scholarships.
College Admission – Eighty-five (85) percent of selective colleges and universities report that a
student’s AP experience favorably impacts admissions decisions.
Expectations of AP Courses Intense reading and writing assignments
Additional research and study necessary to analyze all the material covered in the course
Student’s desire and ability to work independently and strive to reach his or her highest academic
and intellectual levels
Engagement in the study of subject matter beyond just learning facts; in-depth analysis and
synthesis of material is required
Requirement that students take the AP test at the end of the year with the expectation the exam
will be taken seriously
Listed below are specific subject area course expectations that students will be required to meet:
English – read and respond to works of fiction and non-fiction analytically and critically; develop a
writing voice with an understanding of audience and purpose; read and analyze texts from various
genres
Global Studies – construct a logical historical argument; read, analyze, and interpret primary resources;
develop a historical perspective in both written and verbal format; understand and explain the reasons
for different points of view
Math – problem-solve; demonstrate abstract and analytical reasoning; use logic, inductive, and
deductive reasoning to draw conclusions and solve problems; translate among graphic, algebraic,
numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of functions and relations
Sciences – demonstrate an analytical approach to material; design and conduct scientific investigations
and produce high-level lab reports
18
AP Exams – At the conclusion of an AP course, students will be required to take the corresponding
AP Exam. AP Exams are two-to-three-hour exams, administered in May. They are made up of multiple-
choice and free-response (essay) questions which are scored by college faculty and AP teachers. They
use scoring standards and rubrics developed by college and university faculty who teach the
corresponding college courses. AP scores signify how qualified students are to receive college credit and
placement. The final score is reported on a 5 – point scale:
5 = extremely well qualified
4 = well qualified
3 = qualified
2 = possibly qualified
1 = no recommendation
The composite score for each AP Exam is converted to a score of 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1. An AP Exam score of 5
is equivalent to an A in the corresponding college course; a score of 4 is equivalent to grades of A-, B+
and B; a score of 3 is equivalent to grades of B-, C+ and C.
AP Exam Fees The fee for each exam is $87. The exam fee(s) are paid by Hoke County Schools
Academically/Intellectually Gifted Program for any student taking an AP Exam.

The State Board of Education defined Credit Recovery as a block of instruction that is less than the
entirety of the Standard Course of Study for that course. Credit recovery, therefore, delivers a subset of
the Standard Course of Study or Blueprint of the original course in order to address specific deficiencies
in a student’s mastery of the course and target specific components of a course necessary for
completion. The purpose of “credit recovery” is to recover credit.
The Hoke County Schools provide online instruction in partnership with the NC Virtual Public school.
Currently, these courses are available for students in grades 9-12. Please contact your school’s
counselor for more information or to register for a course.

Grading Policy
For purposes of determining graduation requirements, each student is assigned to a graduating class
upon initial enrollment in ninth grade. In order to graduate from high school, the student must meet the
HCHS graduation requirements for that particular class. This provision applies to a student who
graduates before or after the graduating class to which the student was assigned upon entering the ninth
grade.
Grades are standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area.
Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B, C, D, or F) or as a range (for example 4.0—1.0).
Grade Point Average (GPA): the average of a student’s grades over a set period of time, such as four
years of high school. It is measure of the student’s academic performance. Grade Point Average is a
calculation of the average of all of a student’s grades for all semesters and courses completed up to a
given academic term.
An unweighted GPA is the average of all class grades based on a 4.0 scale.
A weighted GPA is the average of honors and advanced placement class grades based on additional
quality points.
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is the measure of a student’s academic performance. The GPA is
potentially used by employers and post-secondary institutions to assess and compare applicants.
I. Weighted Grade Point Average
Many schools in the United States, including Hoke High, utilize weighted grade point averages in order
to encourage students to take more rigorous courses such as Honors and Advanced Placement courses.
In calculating the weighted grade point average, one (1) additional quality point is added to the earned
quality points for Honors courses and Career and College Promise courses. Two (2) additional points
are added for Advanced Placement courses.
For example:
Unweighted Grade Point Average
Total Unweighted Points divided by Number of Courses Attempted = Unweighted GPA
11.375 divided by 4 = 2.8438
Weighted Grade Point Average
Total Weighted Points divided by Number of Courses Attempted = Weighted GPA
16.375 divided by 4 = 4.0938
Course Final Grade Unweighted Points Weighted Points
AP English IV 84 2.500 4.500

It is important to remember that a student’s grade point average is cumulative, including all courses
taken beginning with the 9th grade. Therefore, students should attempt to do their very best in all
courses taken throughout high school. All coursework taken in grades 9-12 for which final grades are
earned will be used in calculating a student’s grade point average. Final grades will earn quality points
according to the above chart as approved by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The
grade point average is determined by dividing the sum total of all earned quality points by the number of
courses attempted. For example:
Course Final Grade Quality Points
English I 93 3.625
Algebra I 85 2.625
World History 88 3.000
Health/PE 99 4.000
Quality Point Total 13.250
Total Quality Points divided by Number of Courses Attempted = Grade Point Average
13.250 divided by 4 = 3.3125

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS
29
Attendance in school and participation in class are integral parts of academic achievement and the
teaching-learning process. Through regular attendance, students develop patterns of behavior essential
to professional and personal success in life. Regular attendance by every student is mandatory. The
State of North Carolina requires that every child in the State between the ages of 7 (or younger if
enrolled) and 16 attend school. Parents and legal guardians are responsible for ensuring that students
attend and remain at school daily.
A. ATTENDANCE RECORDS
School officials shall keep accurate records of attendance, including accurate attendance records
in each class. Attendance records will be used to enforce the Compulsory Attendance Law of
North Carolina.
B. EXCUSED ABSENCES
When a student must miss school, a written excuse signed by a parent or guardian must be
presented to the student’s teacher on the day the student returns after an absence. An absence
may be excused for any of the following reasons.
1. Personal illness or injury that makes the student physically unable to attend school.
2. Isolation ordered by the State Board of Health.
3. Death in the immediate family.
4. Medical or dental appointment.
5. Participation under subpoena as a witness in a court proceeding.
6. A minimum of two days each academic year for observance of an event required or
suggested by the religion of the student or the student’s parents. The student will have
the opportunity to make up any tests or other work missed due to the excused absence for
a religious observance.
7. Participation in a valid educational opportunity, such as travel or service as a legislative
or Governor’s page, with prior approval from the principal.
8. Pregnancy and related conditions or parenting, when medically necessary.
In addition, a student whose parent or legal guardian (a) is an active duty member of the
uniformed services, as defined by policy 4050, Children of Military Families; and (b) has been
called to duty for, is on leave from, or has immediately returned from deployment to a combat
zone or combat support posting will be granted additional excused absences at the discretion of
the superintendent or designee to visit with his or her parent or legal guardian.
Absences due to extended illnesses generally require a statement from a physician.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
30
In the case of excused absences and short-term out-of-school suspensions, the student will be
permitted to make up his or her work. (See also policy 4351, Short-Term Suspension.) The
teacher will determine when work is to be made up. The student is responsible for finding out
what assignments are due and completing them within the specified time period.
C. SCHOOL-RELATED ACTIVITIES
All classroom activities are important and difficult, if not impossible, to replace if missed.
Principals shall ensure that classes missed by students due to school-related activities are kept to
an absolute minimum. The following school-related activities will not be counted as absences
from either class or school:
1. Field trips sponsored by the school;
2. job shadows and other work-based learning opportunities, as described in G.S. 115C-
47(34a);
3. school-initiated and -scheduled activities;
4. athletic events that require early dismissal from school;
5. Career and Technical Education student organization activities approved in advance by
the principal; and
6. in-school suspensions.
Assignments missed for these reasons are eligible for makeup by the student. The teacher will
determine when work is to be made up. The student is responsible for finding out what
assignments are due and completing them within the specified time period.
D. EXCESSIVE ABSENCES
Class attendance and participation are critical elements of the educational process and may be
taken into account in assessing academic achievement. Students are expected to be at school on
time and to be present at the scheduled starting time for each class. Students who are excessively
tardy to school or class may be suspended for up to two days for such offenses.
The principal shall notify parents and take all other steps required by G.S. 115C-378 for
excessive absences. Students may be suspended for up to two days for truancy.
If a student is absent from school for five or more days in a semester, the principal or a
committee established by the principal shall consider whether the student’s grades should be
reduced because of the absences. The principal or committee shall review other measures of
academic achievement, the circumstances of the absences, the number of absences, and the
extent to which the student completed missed work. A committee may recommend to the
principal and the principal may make any of the following determinations:
ATTENDANCE POLICY
31
1. The student will not receive a passing grade for the semester;
2. The student’s grade will be reduced;
3. The student will receive the grade otherwise earned; or
4. The student will be given additional time to complete the missed work before a
determination of the appropriate grade is made.
Students with excused absences due to documented chronic health problems are exempt from
this policy.

Titan Pride!
We Care, We Share, We Dare
We care enough to encourage our children to break out of their cocoon and become the beautiful
butterfly that they are, to reach for their stars, and to rise to the challenge. We share through
collaboration, compassion and knowledge in deciding what is best for our students and we dare to
venture outside the box to make things work.
VISION STATEMENT
57
JW Turlington’s primary mission is to equip students with the necessary skills to function and remain in
school. This mission is accomplished by utilizing individual learning plans, parental participation, and
school and community services for each student to meet the academic attendance and behavior terms of
the Turlington School contract in a small class setting.
This effort, along with the student’s personal responsibility for attendance, behavior, and academic
progress, will help each student meet the exit requirements from Turlington School. The goals of J.W.
Turlington are:
to continue the student’s education with individualized instruction;
behavioral improvements for all students enabling them to return to base school
to increase school/ community interaction
to reduce the school dropout rate
the development of a personalized education and career plan.
Turlington attempts to keep a low teacher/student ratio. Maintaining a low teacher/student ratio is
critical to the success of the alternative program.

SandHoke Early College High School
The Hoke County School System and Sandhills Community College partnered to implement an early
college high school in 2006 with the purpose of providing students an opportunity to earn a high
school diploma and a two-year college degree. The five-year program focuses on developing
students’ college readiness skills through a rigorous accelerated course of study and building strong
relationships.
Due to SandHoke Early College High School’s limited enrollment capacity, rising 9th grade students
are required to apply for the program. The school seeks to serve students who are potential first
generation college students in their family and may not see college as an option. The school’s
primary recruitment goal is to embrace a true representation of the demographics of the district.
Students attend courses at the Hoke Campus satellite site through the first three years, and then
transition to Sandhills Community College main campus beginning in their 4th
year. The five-year
program is tuition free for the student to include course fees, textbooks, and college student fees.
SHECHS encourages all rising 9th
grade students to consider SHECHS as their high school.
Beginning the fall of 2013, students will be allowed to participate in athletics hosted at Hoke High
School. For more information on sports, review the policy in the SHECHS Handbook. This is an
excellent opportunity to become an athletic scholar.

923100 - OCS APPLIED SCIENCE
PREREQUISITE: Recommendation of IEP team
OCS Applied Science is based on the NC Essential
Standards and Common Core (National) Standards. The
North Carolina Science Essential Standards maintain the
respect for local control of each Local Education Authority
(LEA) to design the specific curricular and instructional
strategies that best deliver the content to their students.
Nonetheless, engaging students in inquiry-based instruction
is a critical way of developing conceptual understanding of
the science content that is vital for success in the twenty-first century. The process of scientific inquiry,
experimentation and technological design should not be
taught nor tested in isolation of the core concepts drawn
from physical science, earth science and life science. A
seamless integration of science content, scientific inquiry,
experimentation and technological design will reinforce in
students the notion that "what" is known is inextricably tied
to "how" it is known. A well-planned science curriculum
provides opportunities for inquiry, experimentation and
technological design. Students should have opportunities to
engage in "hands-on/minds-on" activities which are exemplars of scientific inquiry, experimentation and
technological design. Students should understand force and
motion, energy and its conservation, electricity and
magnetism; properties of matter, use and danger of common
chemicals and how humans can have positive and negative
effects on the environment and the human body.
