SALOME HIGH SCHOOL PROFILE 2009-2010
COMMUNITY: Salome is a small agriculture community that was once along the major route to California. The legend of Salome has to do with its founder Mr. Dick Wick Hall observing his wife attempt to walk on the hot desert sand in her bare feet and proceed to “dance” to her destination. There and then he named the town “Salome-where she danced-Arizona.” This was an apparent reference to the biblical “Salome” that danced for her king.
SCHOOL: Salome High School is the sole member of the Bicentennial Union High School District #76; covering an area of approximately 3400 square miles and serving students and families from the communities of Aguila, Bouse, Cibola, Ehrenberg, Salome, Quartzsite, Wenden, and Vicksburg. Salome’s small town atmosphere provides a safe and secure setting for students to learn and grow. Salome High School is accredited by North Central Association of Schools and colleges.
CURRICULUM: Salome High offers college bound courses including a Gifted Program, on campus and on-line college courses, and Honors level math and science sections. In addition to college prep, Salome has Vocational Programs in Building Trades, Culinary Arts, and Computer and Business. The school also boasts an exceptional Band and Art program, as well as Special Education, Migrant Education, and English Language Learner programs.
GRADES: The following grades may be earned: A (100% - 90%) = Outstanding achievement; B (89% -80%) = Above average achievement; C (79% - 70%) = Average achievement; D(69% - 60%) = Below average achievement and F (59% - 0%)= Failing performance. NC = No Credit is given when a student enters too late in the semester to award credit for the class or loses credit. W = Withdrawal is given when a student withdraws from a course prior to the end of the grading period. No credit is awarded when a student withdraws. P = Pass and F = Fail.
G.P.A. (GRADE POINT AVERAGE): Numeric values are assigned to letter grades: A = 4.0; B = 3.0; C= 2.0; D = 1.0; and F = 0. A GPA is calculated by adding points for each grade earned and dividing the total by the number of classes taken. All classes may not be used to calculate a GPA. For example, some colleges may only calculate the GPA of core classes. The GPA is recorded on the student transcript each semester and is often used for determining eligibility for the Frog Challenge, Honors Academy, scholarships, college entrance , student ranking, insurance reduction and participation in extra –curricular activities including sports and employment. A GPA for a transcript is cumulative (grades are calculated beginning from the first semester grades in 9th grade to the student’s present semester grades). SHS does not weight grades.
CLASS RANKS: Students in each class (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior) are ranked using their GPA’s. Students with the highest (4.0) GPA are ranked #1. When a tie for ranking is determined, students will share the honor. When using the same rank for multiple students is not possible, additional criteria will be used to determine rank.
CREDITS: Twenty-three (23) Carnegie units/credits are required for high school graduation beginning with the class of 2009. (English – 4; Math- 4; Social Studies --3.5; Sciences – 3; Physical Education & Health – 1.5; Vocational or Fine Arts -= 1 and Electives 6). Transfer credits are evaluated and awarded to meet SHS requirements whenever possible.

Dear Student:
We are pleased that you have chosen to enroll at Salome High School, home of the Fighting Frogs.
Please study these scheduling materials carefully and discuss them with your teachers and counselors. Take them home to discuss them with your parents.
You will want to refer to the requirements for graduation as you select your courses. Consider your selections for the year very carefully, as schedule changes will be limited.
Select two alternate elective courses in the event that your first elective choice is full or not offered as planned. Note that all courses listed in this course catalog may not be offered. Actual course offerings will be determined by several factors, which could include, minimum enrollments, staffing, funding and scheduling constraints.
Your proposed list of courses is to be signed by your parent or guardian and returned to the class in which you received your scheduling materials. If you or your parents have questions, please contact Gregg Chauran at Salome High School; 1-928-859-4779.

CONDITIONAL ADMISSIONS POLICY:
If a student has a deficiency or needs to fulfill one unit in one or two different subject areas (except math or science), coursework may be completed during the first year at the university or through summer school or a community college. Additional coursework required by a college major is not considered part of the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) requirements for admission and may either be completed before enrollment or during the student’s first year at the university.
Students must complete coursework requirements within one calendar year of their first enrollment or they will not be permitted to register for subsequent terms. Admission is based on the grade-point average (GPA) of the 16 unit ABOR requirements, not the entire student curriculum.
Participation in Salome High School commencement exercises requires that a student has successfully completed all State of Arizona and BUHSD #76 School Governing Board graduation requirements prior to the graduation ceremonies.
Any student who still has credit or coursework to complete, disciplinary obligations to fulfill, or financial obligations to settle with the school district will not be allowed to participate in the commencement exercises.
