4 English

3 social studies

3 science

1 computer science

1 foreign language or Career and Technology Education

1 physical education

7 electives (beginning with the class of 2027, a 0.5 credit of Personal Finance will be required)

Some students who attend a career center may have slightly different courses accepted toward these graduation requirements. For example, some career center students may opt out of the foreign language requirement toward graduation. However, please remember that many 4 year colleges still require 2+ years of foreign language for admission.
