The mission of Seneca School District is "Every child, every day, whatever it takes". SHS's Seneca Strong event is an excellent example of this mission statement. Every student in SHS had the opportunity to participate in Future-Ready activities on October 1st.  Seniors attended a College Fair, ate in a dining hall and participated in a photo scavenger hunt on MSU campus.  Juniors completed the ASVAB, listened to the wisdom of an adult panel regarding career paths and life in general and participated in team building activities or listened to a Job Center speaker on options other than college.  Sophomores completed the PreACT and toured the Joplin Advanced Training & Technology Center. Both Juniors and Sophomores were treated to a catered lunch.  Freshmen heard from the Job Center speaker and toured Pitt State, eating in their dining hall.   The "whatever it takes" included a large number of adults investing time and effort in order to make this happen. The students were provided a great lunch by the Wyandotte tribe; teachers served as sponsors, test proctors, bus drivers and panel speakers; Pittsburg State University and the Advanced Technology Training Center hosted our students providing tours; Nixa High School included our students in their Regional MOACAC College Fair; A MO National Guard member set up team building activities (despite the government shut down); several community members served as panel speakers and the Job Center representative presented to both the Freshmen and Juniors. This was created by the High School's Assessment team and organized by the Counseling office, including the rootEd advisor. THANKS to all involved!

August 21 Seneca High School hosted a new format for Senior Parent Night on August 21, led by rootEd Advisor Lori Brock , counselor Nicki Strickland , and assistant principal Dr. Kate Mock . Representatives from Jostens , MSSU admissions and financial aid, Job Center Services , and Project Graduation  shared valuable resources with families. With about half of the senior class represented, the night was a strong start to Seneca’s first year with rootEd Missouri . Jostens added excitement by donating a cap and gown  for a drawing among attendees.

The Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment (DC/DE) Scholarship will help cover the tuition and fees for students who meet program eligibility criteria. Students can submit the scholarship application and supporting documents online through the student financial aid portal and can learn more here. Seneca High School Dual Credit (taught by SHS staff) Dual credit classes allow students the opportunity to take college level classes on the SHS campus and earn both college and high school credit. Students are allowed to obtain college credit at a reduced tuition price. To be eligible for this program a student must: · Have completed his/her sophomore year of high school · Be at least 16 years of age · Have a minimum unweighted 3.0 GPA (cannot round up) · Apply and be accepted to an eligible college or university · Maintain 95% attendance Some courses also require a specific ACT score or a qualifying alternate test score. Currently Crowder College has chosen the alternate test platform of Accuplacer. Arrangements to take this test will have to be made at Crowder College. This requirement is noted in the prerequisite section of each course description. Students that participate in this program will be responsible for any and all fees incurred with their college coursework. Tuition fees are set by the college. Dual credit offerings are subject to cancellation if the minimum number of students is not met. If a class overfills, upperclassmen will take precedence. Students will receive a grade on their high school transcript as well as their college transcript. Only dual credit courses that are core subjects will be weighted (eng, math, science, soc stud). The college may have deadlines for dropping courses that differ from the high school schedule. High school schedules may only be changed within the specified time period and that may not coincide with the college schedule change dates. Colleges often have dates well into the semester to withdraw/drop a course. If a student makes this decision to drop in a Dual Credit course, they will remain in the high school class and the grade earned from the HS teacher will be on the HS transcript. The student and parent will be responsible for dropping the course at the college level. Seneca High School Dual Enrollment Dual enrollment is a program that allows students to attend classes at a local college and receive both high school and college credit. Students must attend a college that has a current dual enrollment/credit agreement with Seneca High School. To be eligible for this program a student must: · Have completed his/her sophomore year of high school · Be at least 16 years of age · Have a minimum 3.0 GPA · Apply and be accepted to an eligible college or university · Maintain 95% attendance In order to verify attendance, students will complete an attendance sheet on a weekly basis. This form must be submitted to the attendance secretary. Failure to do so will result in the student being marked absent for their college classes. On days when the student’s college classes do not meet the student must come to the high school and engage in homework or independent study related to their high school or college courses. Students enrolled in this program must take a total of six (6) classes per semester with a minimum of three classes taken on the SHS campus. Release time for dual enrollment must occur at either the beginning or end of the school day. Courses taken at the college or university level will be counted towards the student’s GPA. In order to qualify for weighted credit the college course must be a minimum three (3) hour course in English, Mathematics, Science or Social Studies. Students may not receive weighted credit for college courses in excess of the total weighted credit courses available at Seneca High School. Student will receive half (.5) a credit of high school credit for each successfully completed three (3) hour college course. Students will receive a full credit of high school credit for each successfully completed five (5) hour college course. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the counseling office with an official college transcript so that grades may be entered and credit awarded. Should a student drop a college course prior to completion the high school grade will be entered as an “F”. Students that participate in this program will be responsible for any and all fees incurred with their college coursework. Students will also be responsible for their own transportation. A copy of the student’s college class schedule must be provided to the high school counselor at the beginning of each semester. At the end of each semester the student must provide an official copy of their college transcript. Request a Transcript Transcript Request Forms may be picked up in the high school counseling office and/or by filling out Seneca High School Transcript Request Form.
