- Students are not awarded high school credits for having Released Time (Seminary) on their schedule.
- Students are not awarded high school for Parent Release on their schedule.
- Students are not awarded high school credits for having Online on their schedule. Students must pass their online courses within the school term schedule to be awarded credits in a timely manner.
New Alternative PE Elective Option
To meet graduation requirements, students are required to complete 1.5 credits of physical education, which includes the following: Participation Skills, Fitness for Life, and a PE Elective. We encourage students and parents to view the options for PE Electives on our Course Listing page.
The school district has created a new option for students to earn PE credit for Individual Lifetime Activities (PE Elective). The following information has been disclosed by Tooele County School District:
- Tooele County School District participates in the Alternative Program to Expand Student Opportunities for courses taught outside of the jurisdiction of the school. With approval, Individual Lifetime Activities courses may be offered and taught by individuals outside the physical education department. Coaches/instructors of these activities must be certified specialists in the activities they teach and hold current First Aid and CPR cards.
-
Coaches/instructors seeking approval for this program must submit the application.
-
Once approved by the PE Teaching and Learning Curriculum Director, approval remains in place only while the current coach/instructor is running the program and maintains their certification. If their certification expires or they step down, the approval will be removed until either they recertify or the new coach/instructor completes the application process.
-
This means there is a possibility that a student can start a sport/activity while it is on the approved list, but not earn credit for it, if it is no longer on the approved list when the student completes the requirements.
-
Graduation Regalia
Seniors will need to order their graduation regalia through Jostens. Students will be provided with an information packet how to order their regalia. Once Jostens receives the orders for the cap and gown from our school, they will begin distributing their orders at Tooele High School in the spring semester. The contact number for Jostens is 1-800-854-7464 or 801-766-6756 (Direct Tooele High Representative from Jostens).

Stand Out in College Admissions
Stand Out in College Admissions
Advanced Placement (AP) courses demonstrate to admissions officers that students undertake the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer. College admissions officers will recognize that you have challenged yourself with college-level course work and expectations and have refined your skills to meet these expectations through beginning your undergraduate general coursework early in high school.
Skip Introductory Classes
Skip Introductory Classes
If students know what they want to major in at college, taking an Advanced Placement (AP) course related to that major and earning a qualifying score on the AP exam can help you gain advanced placement out of introductory courses. This opportunity allows students to move directly into upper-level classes where they can focus on courses that interest them most. Many high schools offer AP courses that meet students' general education requirements in college.
Earn College Credits
Earn College Credits
The increase in college tuition yearly can become expensive for high school students to pursue postsecondary education. Students can save on college expenses (i.e., college tuition, fees, and textbooks costs) through taking Advance Placement (AP) courses in high school and passing the AP exam at the end of the school year to earn college credit, which will save them thousands of dollars. AP Exams cost approximately $99.00 per exam. More than 90% of colleges and universities across the country offer college credit for students who have earned qualifying AP Exam scores. Students are responsible for registering for their AP Exams. If a student fails the AP Exam, it will not be recorded on their high school nor their college transcript.
What is an AP Score and What Does it Mean?
What is an AP Score and What Does it Mean?
An AP score is a measurement of a student's achievement in a college-level Advanced Placement (AP) course and shows how a student performed on the AP Exam. Colleges and universities will use a student’s score on the AP Exam to determine if they will grant you credit for a college course that is required in college for a student's general education requirement or a course for their selected college major. The AP Exam is scored between 1 and 5. Students must usually score at least 3 or above on the AP Exam to qualify for college credit.

What is Concurrent Enrollment (CE)?
Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses are college courses that are online or broadcast to high school locations and taught by college instructors or qualified adjunct teachers. CE courses provide high school students with the opportunity to earn college and high school credits at the same time. The grade earned in the class will be recorded on a student's high school and college transcripts. Students will be responsible for completing the admission and enrollment process and paying for admission fees and tuition. The approximate cost for a high school student taking a CE course is $15.00 per class. Students can save thousands of dollars by taking CE courses. Students are strongly encouraged to verify if their CE course/credits will be accepted at the colleges that they will be applying to and/or attending after high school graduation.
Disclosure: Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses require rigorous academic preparations, including pre-requisites of maintaining a 3.0 GPA for general CE courses, and at least a 2.5 GPA for CTE CE courses; and any potential pre-requisite courses if required. Some CE courses might require a specific ACT score. Students must complete their CE courses with at least a C or better to remain eligible for Financial Aid, Pell Grants, Federal Student Loans, etc. CE course content may include controversial cultural, religious, political, aesthetic, and human sexuality issues.

College Entrance Examinations
Introduction
College and university admissions usually require a college entrance examination as part of their admissions process when students submit their college applications. In addition, college entrance examinations are used to evaluate student's eligibility for scholarships and their placement in English and Mathematics at the college and/or university. The most commonly known college entrance exams are the ACT and the SAT exams.
Students are encouraged to research if the college and/or university that they will be applying to has a requirement to submit college entrance exam scores. Utah colleges and universities commonly request and accept ACT scores. Tooele High School offers the ACT exams for students in the 11th grade free of charge. If students wish to take the ACT exam earlier or retake the ACT exam their senior year to attempt to improve their scores, students will be responsible to cover the fees.
Students seeking to attend a college out-of-state are recommended to research what college entrance exam the college and/or university requires if they have a requirement. Many out-of-state colleges and/or universities would accept either the ACT or the SAT. Students who are interested in preparing for the SAT exam in their junior year could take the PSAT exam in their sophomore year to prepare.
ACT Exam
The ACT exam is a college entrance exam with four sections: English, math, reading and science. There is an optional writing section which may be required by some colleges and universities. Students are recommended to take the ACT at least twice to try to obtain the best possible score to submit with their college applications.
PSAT Exam
The PSAT is a practice exam for the SAT college entrance exam. The PSAT exam is used by the National Merit Scholar Program as a qualifying test for high school juniors to award the National Merit Scholar Semi-Finalist status. Students do not register for the PSAT/NMSQT through College Board. Schools and districts choose whether and when to offer it. The PSAT is a three-hour exam that is usually administered in October.
SAT Exam
The SAT exam is a college entrance exam with three sections: critical reading, math and writing. The SAT is less commonly used by Utah colleges and universities, however accepted everywhere. The SAT are usually administered during the fall of a student's junior year and in the fall of their senior year.
