Maryville High School seniors will be required to take 8 courses during their senior year. All seniors will take an English 4 class, a math course, and a science course. Also, seniors will be required to take economics and government. However, students may also take up to 7 of these classes as dual enrollment courses where they are earning college credit along with high school credit. Students who have ACT subscores of 19 or higher in English and reading, along with a 3.0 unweighted G.P.A., have the privilege of earning college credit while still enrolled in high school. These courses will be offered at Maryville College, the Pellissippi State campus located on Highway 321, and the University of Tennessee. Likewise, students can receive a maximum of five $500.00 grants during their high school tenure. These scholarships are provided through the Lottery Corporation. Students wishing to pursue college credit courses must meet several criteria:
A. 19 or higher on all ACT subscores and composite
B. 3.0 unweighted G.P.A.
C. Completion of Maryville High School Dual Enrollment Registration and Release
D.

While Maryville High School is able to offer assistance to students with admission, scheduling, and grants, payment of college tuition and state educators' discounts are the responsibility of the parents and students and are private matters between the family and the college or university. Therefore, the faculty and staff of Maryville High School cannot enter into financial discussions.
Students enrolled in college courses which are not on the M.H.S. campus will follow the college's rules and schedules. On the days and times students are not on the college campus, they will report for their normal high school classes at Maryville High School, following the rules and schedules of M.H.S. Students must remember that the college's fall and spring breaks, as well as snow days, may not be the same as those followed by M.H.S. Therefore, students will need to be aware and follow the appropriate schedules.
**In order to be eligible to participate in high school sports, students must pass 6 block courses the previous year; therefore, athletes must pass their college courses to remain eligible.
