Early Graduation Policy from the Student Handbook...
Students may apply for an early graduation option by submitting a letter of request signed by the student and their parents/guardians to the building principal by March 1st of their Junior year. Each situation will be evaluated individually and final permission granting the early graduation option will rest in the hands of the Board of Education. Eligible students must complete all graduation requirements by December of their senior year. Students who are allowed to graduate early will lose all privileges associated with being a student at Litchfield High School including, but not limited to, participating in all extra-curricular activities (athletics, clubs, dances, or senior trips), however, these students will be granted the privilege of participating in graduation ceremonies at the end of the school year.
