Cybersecurity is a rapidly growing field. The need for cybersecurity is prevalent in every industry and even in the military. Indeed, those with cybersecurity training are in high demand in the job market. Given the constant evolution of technology, this trend in the job market will not just continue, but exponentially multiply. It is for this reason that we offer Cybersecurity as a co-curricular class.
Please begin by watching this introductory video on cybersecurity. In the video, you will be instructed on how to navigate and proceed with this course. Once you have finished with the video, go to this website: https://codehs.com/signup/begin. Once there, you will log in using the class code that you received from your co-curricular teacher.

Semester Objectives
Each student will receive a grade of “Fulfilled,” or “Unfulfilled,” based on that student’s satisfactory completion of the stated objectives for the particular class. Moving through the modules, a Cybersecurity student must complete each objective in a given module. Failure to do so will result in an unfulfilled for that module. The teacher will make clear the level of progress necessary to achieve a “Fulfilled” grade for the semester.
- Unopened: Pretty self-explanatory… an unopened program is one that the student hasn’t opened. An “Unopened” program will result in a grade of “Unfulfilled” for that program.
- Not Submitted: A “Not Submitted” program is one which the student might have started, meaning that you have saved or run your code, but didn’t finish. This would be applicable only to Quiz questions. A “Not Submitted” program will result in a grade of “Unfulfilled” for that program.
- Submitted: Teachers must check for the functionality and other requirements of the exercise. If the teacher deems the effort credible, the student will receive a “Fulfilled when the student submits his or her work.
- Reviewed: Reviewed status means the assignment has been submitted but it’s not fully correct. Thus being passed back to the student with a mark that needs work. If the teacher deems the student’s effort to be credible the student will receive a “Fulfilled for a “Reviewed” assignment.
- Submitted After Reviewed: Submitted After Reviewed is a status awarded to an assignment that a student resubmitted after having been reviewed by the teacher. If the teacher deems the student’s effort to be credible the student will receive a “Fulfilled for a “Submitted After Reviewed” assignment.
- Finalized: The “Finalized” status means that the student has successfully completed the assignment and the assignment has been graded. A student will receive a “Fulfilled when his or her work is “Finalized.”
Failure to meet the objectives of any co-curricular course may prevent a student from progressing to the next grade level, and/or graduating. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach your co-curricular class teacher for more information. Thank you.
