Our philosophy is to provide learners with access to flexible course offerings and innovative programs to meet the diverse needs of the learners in the Coppell Independent School District in the information-rich environment of the 21st century. Several course alternatives will be offered to assist learners in gaining credit toward high school graduation. Learners are required to discuss options with their counselor prior to signing up for the following:
Distance Learning (also known as “correspondence courses”) can be taken print-based or online, if offered.
Internet Courses - include Virtual School courses or online courses.
Credit Recovery grade(s) will appear on the learner’s transcript with credit earned and will count toward the learner’s GPA. Visit Coppell High School’s website under the counseling menu for registration information and test dates.
Important: Learners who earn course credit through correspondence course for a course associated with a STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exam are required by state law to take the STAAR End-of-Course exam at the next state-determined test date following the date correspondence grades are received by the district. STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exam requirements must be met in order to receive a high school diploma in Texas. STAAR End-of-Course exams include Algebra I, Biology, U.S. History, English I and English II.
