On The Money - Financial Literacy
0.5 credit
Grades 10, 11 and 12
Do you have a love-hate relationship
with money? Do you know where your
money goes? Today’s teens as a group
spend more than $150 billion each year.
Greenbacks or plastic? How do we earn
it? How do we spend it? How do we
invest it? How do we save and protect
it? According to former Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan, the problem
with today’s young society is the lack
of financial “literacy,” or knowledge.
Financial knowledge is like a puzzle
– it’s only possible when you have all
the pieces in hand, and know how to
fit them together in the right order. On
The Money will teach you important
financial concepts about spending,
saving, credit, taxes and other issues
facing young adults, and how to apply
those concepts in a systematic order
that will provide a solid foundation for
financial success.

Three science credits are required for
graduation. These credits may be earned
either by taking the series of semester
courses (Introduction to Physics I & II,
Introduction to Chemistry I & II, and
Introduction to Biology I & II) or by
taking Honors and/or AP science classes
(please note that prerequisites apply).
Students may be teacher-recommended
for honors science courses, and
those who successfully complete the
yearlong honors course may be teacherrecommended for the AP course in that
specific discipline in subsequent years
(other prerequisites may apply.)
Instruction and discussion of what
constitutes original thought will be
consistent through all Science classes
in order to assure that all students
