Computer Programming in C++ Honors (9, 10, 11, 12) .5 credit/semester course Blended learning class - 4 days in-class/ 1 day online learning This course introduces students to programming using the C++ language. Students will deepen their understanding of the algorithmic design process of structure programming through the use of functions. Specific topics may include(but are not limited to): Arrays (both one and two dimensions), Searching and Sorting Arrays, Dynamic Memory, Structured Data Types, and an introduction to Class Data Types.
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (9, 10, 11, 12)
Blended learning class - 3 days in-class/ 2 days online learning
1 credit
Students in this class will learn the creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computer impacts. This course will provide students the opportunity to use technology to address real-world problems and build relevant solutions. Course work focuses on the innovative aspects of computing as well as the computational thinking practices that help students see how computing is relevant to many areas of their everyday lives. This course prepares students for the Advanced Placement examination in Computer Science Principles. Students will also be required by the College Board to create a set of artifacts to be submitted in addition to taking the AP test.

Computer Science 2 Advanced and Extended Study (11, 12)
1 credit
Blended learning class - 2 days in-class/ 3 days online learning
Using the programming language of Java, this course extends the concepts learned from Computer Science 1 AP and offers students the opportunity to explore and learn in an environment that requires a significant amount of independent study. Topics include advanced programming algorithms, computer memory and run-time comparisons, advanced class usage, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic data structures, graphics and/or GUI interface. Students receive AP-weighted grades for this course.
Prerequisite: Computer Science 1 Advanced Placement. English
English 9 Career & College Prep/Honors 1 credit
English 9 includes a balanced program of reading, written or oral response, language study, and vocabulary. Reading takes place both in and outside of class. The core curriculum emphasizes personal response to a variety of literary works. Frequent writing assignments and lessons in language study are related to the reading and include research skills. The amount and types of reading and writing, the work done outside of class, student responsibilities, and teacher expectations differ from one level of the course to another as indicated by the level descriptions. Each level expands upon the core curriculum with supplemental readings and assignments.
English 9 Accelerated Honors 1 credit
Students study literature in thematic units. Daily class discussions are based on readings, and students are expected to participate by contributing relevant, constructive and probing comments and questions. Students also complete process writing assignments as well as research pieces. Vocabulary
