The mission of the School Counseling Department at Butler High School is to foster the positive academic, career, and personal growth of its students. The counseling staff assists students in gaining insight into themselves so as to work toward their maximum potential. School counselors discuss matters of importance with students that will help ensure a successful four years at BHS, in addition to helping the student plan for post-high school success. The School Counseling Department provides many resources to assist students. Information is available through the Counseling Office, on the Counseling Website, and on Naviance. Parents/students who are enrolled in the Naviance program should routinely check the website to receive timely information on an array of topics such as SAT/ACTs, program and scholarship opportunities, and the college process. Information is also provided on the bulletin board located in the hallway outside of the Counseling Office. Students and parents are encouraged to request appointments as needed.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program and College Level Courses give students an opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in secondary school and to receive advanced placement credit. The program in Butler High School presently provides courses and examinations in nine introductory college areas of study. The program is open to students who might welcome the challenge and the numerous benefits of undertaking Advanced Placement study.
Throughout the school year, school counselors will meet with large groups of students to distribute and explain scheduling materials. Following these meetings, students should discuss graduation requirements and post-secondary plans with their parents in preparation for an individual scheduling conference.
(Example: If a student fails English I, they will be placed in English I the next year) Students who fail any of their major subjects are required to independently register and attend summer school classes, in an approved summer school program, during the summer immediately following the regular school year of the failure. Students are expected to successfully complete their summer school classes and regain grade level status prior to the beginning of the new school year. Summer school grades will count toward BHS graduation requirements, but will not be calculated in a student’s grade point average (GPA).
These requirements are usually referred to in terms of College Units. One College Unit is granted for each year of a college accepted subject which has been successfully completed in high school. Four year colleges usually require a minimum of sixteen College Units for admission. These units are required by most colleges in the following subject areas:
Regular and punctual attendance, as specified by Butler Board of Education Policy #5200, and described in the Butler High School Code of Conduct/Student Handbook, is a requirement for graduation. All students would be familiar and compliant with these policies and procedures.
The high school master schedule and staffing are determined by the course selections of the students. Every effort will be made to accommodate your course requests. There are times that courses will not be offered due to insufficient enrollment requiring students to select an alternative. In addition, some courses in the Course Catalog are offered every other year. Board of Education policy indicates that each course must have a minimum number of students to be offered with only a few exceptions. Also, due to the availability of staff and facilities, a student’s schedule may be in “conflict” and can only be resolved by selecting an alternate course.
