Canon-McMillan
General English
Course Reinstated
by NCAA
In the spring of 2017 school year,
the NCAA Eligibility Center decided
to re-evaluate some of the courses
within the Canon-McMillan list of
approved NCAA courses. This list,
determined by the NCAA, is made
up of courses that the NCAA will
accept as prospective student
athletes work to fulfill the 16-core
credit requirement. Any classes not
on the list are not approved by the
NCAA and, therefore, cannot be
used to fulfill eligibility requirements
as student-athletes strive to
participate in collegiate athletics.
The NCAA decided to not include
our General English courses for
grades 9-12 as a result of their
evaluation. This situation has added
stress to both our Guidance and
English Departments as they have
been working hard to keep every
potential NCAA student-athlete on
track to achieve scholarship level
opportunities and participate in
NCAA athletics.
This past spring, the English
department, led by Lori Keller
and now Tera Brownlee, did an
outstanding job of providing the
NCAA with the necessary materials
including curriculum, flow chart
and benchmarks. These efforts have
paid off as the NCAA has approved
our General English curriculum for
all grades 9-12. Canon-McMillan
School District is very appreciative
of the effort made by our English
department to have these courses
reinstated. Our students will have
more opportunities because of these
results.
