courses. If the student’s score is 18 or lower,
then they will be placed in a developmental course
for no credit. Regardless of career or educational
plans, students are encouraged to take four math
courses in high school to ensure success at the

required units must be U.S. History, Economics, and
U.S. Government. The other two credits are
completed from the following group: World Geography,
World History, or European History AP. An
application to waive World Geography can be
completed during registration if scheduling

pass/fail credit at the middle school level, the
credit will be counted as an honors class toward
meeting the Williamson County high school honors
diploma requirement. |
