January Graduation
January Graduation
Although it is not recommended, January Graduation is an option for students who opt to graduate in January of their senior year. Interested students should schedule an appointment with their counselor prior to the spring of their junior year. A January Graduation application must be completed by the student and parent/guardian and on file in the school counseling office by October 1st of the student’s senior year. Please keep the following in mind:
- The fact that a student has met with his/her school counselor, examined his/her transcript, and determined that the necessary units to graduate have been completed, does not ensure that the student has the necessary units to attend a four-year college. It merely means the student is eligible for high school graduation.
- January Graduates will not receive a final rank.
- January Graduates will be awarded a diploma through the base high school as soon as it is issued by the SCDE.
- January Graduates lose all privileges associated with being a student. The January Graduate will not be allowed on campus during the instructional day without an appointment with a school counselor. January Graduates may not attend any function that is designed for active students. Some examples include, but are not limited to, the prom, the academic awards ceremony, the senior celebration, any base school or academy senior recognition ceremony, etc.
- January Graduates will be allowed to participate in a spring or January base school graduation ceremony (please note: Graduation practice is required for participation in the graduation ceremony). All decisions regarding graduation ceremony participation (January or spring) must be made by October 1st. All decisions are final.
- January Graduates will be eligible to begin a post-secondary education program and receive all scholarships for which they are eligible.
- January Graduates will need to contact the appropriate vendor directly to secure graduation supplies. Please see your base school website to determine the vendor and supplies needed.
-All decisions are final.
Early Graduation
Early Graduation
It is possible for a student to fulfill all graduation requirements in less than four years; however, it is not recommended for most students. Students who are interested in this option should schedule an appointment with their school counselor no later than the spring of their sophomore year. An Early Graduation application must be completed by the student and parent/guardian prior to being considered. It is important to understand that even though a student has met with his/her school counselor and examined his/her transcript, it does not ensure that the student has the necessary units to attend a four-year college. It merely means the student is eligible for high school graduation. Early Graduation applications must be on file by October 1st of the student’s third year.
