Welcome to the page for the Wayne High School Counseling Department. Our department addresses a variety of student needs, including, but not limited to, scheduling, testing, College Credit Plus (CCP), post-secondary planning, FAFSA, NCAA eligibility, scholarships, and career and workforce readiness. Our counselors are assigned to students by last name as follows:
You can reach our department by calling 937-233-6431, option 4 or through email by clicking the counselor's name above.
To schedule an appointment with your counselor or Mrs. Mowry from Sinclair, simply click the buttons below and complete the form. Students may use any device (phone, school/home/work computer) at any time to fill out the form to see their counselor, but they MUST be signed into their MYHHCS Google account in order to use the form. If the student does not know their school email/password, please visit Mrs. Ross in room E111.
Students are expected to schedule seven (7) periods for each semester. Students should choose their subjects with great care, taking into consideration high school graduation requirements and post-graduation plans. Additionally, if you plan to earn an Honors Diploma and/or participate in collegiate athletics, please consider those requirements when making your course selections. Please seek the advice and expertise of your parents, teachers, and school counselor regarding the right course of studies for you.
Students in the classes of 2023 and beyond (those who entered grade 9 on or after July 1, 2019) are now required to meet a new set of graduation requirements. These new graduation requirements consist of three key components:
1. Course Completion
Students will satisfy Ohio’s curriculum requirements and any additional local requirements. Students will complete the state minimum 20 units, with specific units required in each content area.
2. Demonstrating Competency
Students will demonstrate competency in the foundational areas of English language arts and mathematics or through alternative demonstrations, which include College Credit Plus, career-focused activities, their ACT or SAT scores, or military enlistment.
3. Demonstrating Readiness (Seals)
Students will demonstrate readiness for their post-high school paths by earning two diploma seals that allow them to demonstrate important foundational and well-rounded academic and technical knowledge, professional skills, and leadership and reasoning skills.
WHAT ARE HONORS DIPLOMAS?
High school students can gain state recognition for exceeding Ohio’s graduation requirements through an honors diploma. To meet honors diploma requirements, students challenge themselves by taking and succeeding at high-level coursework and in real-world experiences. More information regarding Honors Diplomas can be found here..
The Academic Honors Diploma criteria below applies to the Classes of 2024 and 2025, however those students may also use the new requirements for the Class of 2026 to achieve an honors diploma.
Students must meet all but one of the criteria to earn an honors diploma.
High school students often choose different paths based on their interests, strengths, and long-term goals. Some pursue college to earn degrees in specialized fields, while others explore trade schools, join the workforce, or enlist in the military. To help them navigate these choices, the resources below will provide valuable guidance.
Each year, our seniors are highly encouraged to apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
It's never too early—or too late—to explore your options for college, trade school or career certification. One key step in preparing for post-secondary education is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is NOT just for four-year college students! ANY student who is enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an institution for the purpose of obtaining a degree, certificate, or other recognized education credential offered by that institution is eligible for financial assistance.
FAFSA is NOW OPEN!!

COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS PARENT MEETING FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
Thursday February 6, 2025 at 6 pm - Wayne Cafeteria
To participate in College Credit Plus, you MUST go through the APPLICATION process and PLACEMENT TESTING (if applicable) at your desired higher education institution to determine if you are ELIGIBLE to take CCP classes. This also applies to any Sinclair CCP classes taken at Wayne.
Once Sinclair receives approval from the high school, the application is sent to be processed. Students will receive an email once the ID number and Sinclair username have been generated and a letter will be mailed shortly after with the student's next steps. If testing is needed students will receive information on testing with the mailed letter. Generally speaking, if you have not taken two high school English and math classes and passed with a "B" or higher, you will be expected to take the placement test to determine your eligibility.
If you plan to take CCP classes at Wayne, you MUST have the application process, including testing (if needed), completed by May 31, 2025.
Please contact your counselor with any questions or concerns.
CCP Textbook Information
Textbooks can be ordered through Sinclair’s online bookstore at their official page. Books will be sent directly to your home and the cost is covered by the district. The district will only cover the cost of materials that are REQUIRED for the class. Wayne High School will NO LONGER carry an inventory of textbooks. Books may not be ordered until 10 days before the start of the semester. ALL materials purchased by the district MUST be turned in to Mrs. Gore in B113 at the end of the semester or if you drop a class to avoid any fees.
Withdrawing from CCP
If a student fails a CCP course or withdraws from the course AFTER the refund date, the student/parent(s) will be responsible for all costs associated with the course. Courses are charged $41.64 per credit hour. (Example: ENG 1101 is 3 credit hours. Student fails or withdraws after the refund date, therefore, $124.92 will be added to the student's fees.) Please monitor your CCP institution's calendar for the drop date with a refund if you plan on dropping a class. Any books, computer programs, or other materials purchased for the course by the district MUST be returned to Mrs. Gore, CCP Coordinator, if the student withdraws from the course or when the semester is completed.
