Dear Parents and Students: At Fort Osage High School, we are proud of the number of course offerings we have available to our students. The curriculum is aligned to state standards and our teachers work to educate each student enrolled with engaging, research-based teaching strategies. The Career and Educational Planning Guide contains information to assist you as you organize and implement a plan for your high school career and beyond. The career paths and career clusters information offers a range of possible careers for each student to consider. Parents can use the career paths information to discuss course selection and career opportunities with their children.
Student course selection is extremely important. Schedule changes can be very difficult and/or denied; therefore, students and parents should carefully consider selections to ensure the most appropriate choices for students. We also ask that students take rigorous course work that prepares them for the challenges they will face after high school. The teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to assist students and parents as they make course decisions. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance.

Higher Education Fort Osage High School Curriculum Required by Most Four-Year Colleges English: Mathematics: Science: Social Studies: Foreign Language: Fine Arts:
Four units, one of which may be in speech or debate; two units emphasizing composition or writing skills. Four units, Algebra I or higher Three units (not including general science), one of which must be a lab Three units Two units of the same language One unit
Did You Know? Only one-quarter of students meet ACT’s College Readiness Benchmarks in all four subjects (English, mathematics, so-
cial sciences, and natural science). Nearly one-fifth meet none of the benchmarks. Twenty eight percent of all incoming college freshmen are enrolled in at least one remedial course, according to federal
data. For both sets of indicators, the achievement of African American, Hispanic, and low-income students is much lower than
these averages.
What does this mean? Students need to take college preparatory courses during all four years of high school. First, based on ACT’s decades of student performance data, they define “college readiness” as students having approximately a 75 percent chance of earning a grade of C or higher or approximately a 50 percent chance of earning a B or higher in selected courses commonly taken in the first year of college in the following subjects:
English (English Composition); Mathematics (College Algebra); Social science (History, Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, or Economics); and Natural science (Biology).
Nearly 3 in 10 college students need remediation according to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2004, The Condition of Education 2004.
Why Else Should You Take More Courses Than the Minimum Required? In a world where two-thirds of new jobs will require some kind of education or training after high school, all graduates need the same level of knowledge and skills, whether they enroll in a two– or four-year college, are hired for a job that offers a career path at a self-supporting wage, participate in an apprenticeship or related training, or join the military. Employers have been sending this message for quite a while, but ACT’s research offers empirical evidence to support the assertion, based on a close analysis of the following: Skills needed for jobs that are sufficient to support a small family, provide the potential for career advancement, and are projected to grow in the future, such as electricians, construction workers, upholsterers, and plumbers. Four years of performance on ACT assessments. To ensure that they master the knowledge and skills to succeed after high school, ACT recommends that students take a core curriculum consisting of at least: Four years of English Three years of mathematics, including rigorous courses in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II Three years of science, including rigorous courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Three years of social studies 5

Students who want more in their high school careers find a variety of options open to them through career-technical education. If you plan to enter the workforce immediately after graduation, you need skills to get started toward a rewarding career. If college is in your future, you can start today by enrolling in any of the career-technical programs that are eligible for college credit through the Metropolitan Community Colleges (MCC).
Can I get College Credit through the CTC?
Absolutely! The Career and Technology Center is a member of the Metropolitan Community Colleges' Tech Prep Consortium. MCC recognizes the high level of programs at the CTC and awards college credit to students who meet the college’s criteria. Many of our programs offer dual credit that is awarded upon completion of the course requirements and allow students to take the credit to colleges and universities other than the MCC. Some of our programs offer articulated credit, which is earned at the CTC, but is awarded after graduation and upon successful completion of the first semester at the college that is offering the credit. These dual and articulated credits allow students to graduate from high school with up to a semester or more of college already completed. Earning college credit requires the student to meet the college’s criteria on grade point average (GPA) from their home high school, successful completion of the CTC program, and an appropriate score on one of several standardized tests (such as the TABE, ACT, or the college’s ASSET).
Industry Recognized Credential (IRC)
A portable, recognized credential (tangible evidence) that validates and individual has successfully demonstrated skill competencies in a core set of content and performance standards in a specific set of work-related tasks, single occupational area, or a cluster of related areas. Students earning IRC’s have a head start in many career and post-secondary paths.
What about Internships? Students in courses at the Career and Technology Center have the chance to be involved in exciting internships at area businesses, industries, and companies. Both paid and unpaid internships allow students to put their knowledge to work while still in high school.
What is the level of expectation at the CTC? The Career and Technology Center demands the same high levels of performance found in business and industry. Rigorous standards for attendance and student performance have been set that, when met, can result in a rewarding future for you.
How do I sign up?
Act now! Students from Fort Osage, Blue Springs, Blue Springs South, Grain Valley, and Oak Grove High Schools attend The Career and Technology Center, so space is limited. See your counselor for an application. Parents and prospective students will be invited to orientation and/or open house and will be notified as to dates and times of this meeting.
