COURSE CATALOG IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The following Concurrent Enrollment (CE) college courses provide the student with both high school and college credit.  They require that the student be registered with the Salt Lake Community College (or in a few cases Weber State University) and pay a one-time application fee depending on the college. A partial tuition fee of $5 per credit hour per course paid directly to the college. Some courses require a college textbook that may not be waivable and is purchased directly through the college. 

The following list represents AP classes offered at East High School for 2021-2022. Classes will carry only if the demand is great enough. All students signing up for AP classes are expected to commit to the class for the full year and expected to take the AP exam in the spring. Students may not drop or change AP and/or Honors classes once the school year has begun. College credit may be awarded by certain colleges to students who successfully pass the AP exam. Students should check to see if the college/university they plan to attend offers credit for AP classes and if so how much credit. FEE for each AP exam: $92

LANGUAGE ARTS

Each student must be able to communicate effectively in school as well as in the community. The skills of reading, listening, writing, speaking, and presenting are the keys to literacy and to success in a career. Students become confident readers and writers through the use of all of these modes in a variety of combinations and relevant settings. A focus on the processes of writing provides students with the tools to think and communicate effectively.

LANGUAGE ARTS ELECTIVES

CHECK WITH YOUR COUNSELOR TO SEE WHICH ELECTIVE COURSES COUNT FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS

MATHEMATICS

MATH ELECTIVES

SCIENCE

Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding the natural world. Scientific habits of mind allow people, in all aspects of their lives, to deal sensibly with problems that often involve evidence, quantitative considerations, logical arguments, and uncertainty. Without the ability to think critically, it is difficult to evaluate the complex problems that we face everyday.

SCIENCE ELECTIVES

SOCIAL STUDIES

Colleges and universities expect all students to be familiar with concepts taught in year-long classes. Students should consider registering for AP level classes because of the college-level skills learned in these more rigorous courses.

WORLD LANGUAGE

As world boundaries continue to open, it is more important than ever that students acquire knowledge and skills to effectively communicate and interact cross-culturally. Many professions, be it in government, business, technology etc., value and compensate bi-lingual and multi-lingual employees who help bridge communication gaps. World language classes focus on 5 competencies: communication, culture, connections, comparisons, and communities. Students develop a greater understanding, acceptance, and respect for the diversity of world culture. Most universities recommend two consecutive levels of the same world language in secondary school. The Regent's scholarship requires two consecutive levels of the same language. The World Language Sterling Scholar requires a world language course every year. Utah recently added a Seal of Biliteracy to high school diplomas. The Seal of Biliteracy will be awarded to a student who is proficient in English and one or more World Languages or the Indigenous Languages of Navajo or Ute.

VISUAL ARTS

All students deserve access to the rich education and understanding provided by the arts. As students create dances, theatrical productions, visual art works, and music, they learn how to express themselves and how to communicate with others. All classes encourage students to develop skills and to learn to express themselves through their art. They also develop skills for analyzing and evaluating works of art and cultivate observation skills vital to looking at and discussing aesthetics. Material fees may be required for Visual Arts courses.
