Chillicothe City Schools’ District Mission Statement
The Chillicothe City School District empowers
students to learn, to lead, and to serve.
Introduction to College Credit Plus
(CCP or CC+)
• College Credit Plus is a state funded opportunity for students to
earn college credit while in high school or middle school.
– In most cases, these credits are free of charge to students (not to school
districts).
• Not as many requirements as PSEO or Seniors to Sophomores.
– Students earn college credits while in MS or HS that are not only
applicable to college but are guaranteed to be accepted by ALL (State
run Public) Ohio Colleges.
• Who is eligible? Students Grades 7-12
– Prerequisites for courses must be met.
• Student/Parent or Guardian Driven:
– BE AWARE: Many of the requirements for CCP fall on the student and
parent/guardian.
– We are here to help but you must stay informed and keep in contact.

2 Key Questions to Consider: CCP vs.
• What is your intent?
Honors/AP
– If you are after scholarships through:
• Common App
• Other scholarship foundations
• And prospective colleges….
–then the Honors/AP route is best.
– If you are after guaranteed money/savings then the CCP route is best.
• Are you going to college in the state of Ohio?
– If you are, CCP is the best option as it is guaranteed.
• Especially if you are attending a state school in Ohio.
– If you are not, then honors/AP is the best option as there is more likely a
guarantee of credit acceptance regardless of college or state.
• You can take a combination of CCP and Honors/AP here at CHS but
when making decisions between the two types of courses know
the facts and consider these questions.
The savings are real and
transferability is a priority

• #1 Fail or Withdraw from a Course: You pay for the course.
– CHS will seek reimbursement from a student or a student’s parent for failed courses under this program,
unless the student is identified as economically disadvantaged by the school and was not expelled.
– This include students who receive a failing grade due to the “class-drop” process of non-attendance and
those students who drop courses after the 14th day of a given semester.
• #2 Books: Don’t write in them.
– We pay for them. You use them. You return them to us. Returned to the CCSD District office at the
conclusion of the semester/course you take.
• #3 Grades Matter:
– Depending on the grade you get (usually need a “C” or better) colleges may or may not allow you to use
the course for credit within your major (could deem it an elective credit) or at all.
– This will go on your college transcript as well as your HS transcript.
• #4 College Level Work:
– No excuses. Individual internal drive determines success. Are you ready for college level work and
expectations?
• #5 Athletic Eligibility:
– If you take a CCP course outside of CHS, it is still 1 of the 3 required courses you take that you must pass to
stay eligible.
– College doesn’t care. OHSAA, HS, and you do.
– Your responsibility to ensure grades are reported to CHS each 9 weeks or you could lose your eligibility.Additional CCP Information
• Students can earn up to 30 college credit hours per academic
year; includes summer term.
– If you choose to participate in CCP in the summer this counts

Scheduling Meeting
Chillicothe City Schools’ District Mission Statement
The Chillicothe City School District empowers
students to learn, to lead, and to serve.Importance of Scheduling • #1 Know Your Graduation Requirements: Pg. 9-10 of the CHS Course Planning Handbook. • #2 Know Your Goals. Take advantage of opportunities. – College? Honors Diploma? Honors/AP? CCP? – Career Tech? Military? • #3 Know Prerequisite Requirements for Courses. – Do you qualify? – What do you do if you don’t qualify and want in the course? • #4 Map Your Future: – Don’t schedule for next year. – Schedule for the next 6 years or the next 4 years. – Have a HS course plan to get the most out of HS.
Importance of Scheduling
• The courses you take in HS will have as much to do with the
opportunities you get in college/career as the grades you get
in these courses.
– College Entry and Scholarships Earned? Define as much by
courses you took as the grades you earned.
• Challenge yourself!!! Honors/AP, CCP, etc.
• HS Transcripts: Follow you for the rest of your life.
– Employers want to see them and they look for more than just
grades.
– Classes taken, attendance, test scores, all on there.
• You can cost yourself an opportunity at 25 or 30 due to poor
choices at 15 or 17.
– But, you can also open doors later in life by the decisions you
make and effort you give in HS.
– Think about that.
– 4 years that can dictate the next 40 years of your life.Resources at CHS

EOC calculator.xlsx*PE Waivers
• Students participating in 2 full seasons of marching band, an athletic program, or
cheerleading may apply for 2 waivers for PE class
• IMPORTANT:
– Exempting out of PE does not mean you earn PE credit.
– Students will have to take another course to make up the credits they would have earned from
taking PE.
– Also, we now teach PE and Health at the same time for 1.5 credits (1 credit for health and .5
credits for PE) and there is no exempting out of Health class.
– Our point is your child may be ahead just taking PE and Health rather than exempting out of
the course.
