Graduation and AP Classes


All students in Jefferson County Public Schools are required to complete 23 Specific Credit Hours (minimum) as well as a "Knowledge Demonstration" in both English and Math in order to graduate.

This chart shows all of the possible ways that a student can meet this "Knowledge Demonstration."Many of our students at Bear Creek HS will address this requirement via the SAT Exam taken in their Junior year.

Please speak with one of our counselors if you have any specific questions about graduation requirments.
