High School Graduation
High School Graduation
The courses in this section are the minimum requirements for graduation established by the State Department of Education and the Milford Board of Education. Students eligible for graduation from Milford High School must complete successfully a total of 20 credits. (One credit equals one “Carnegie Unit” - a standard unit of measurement.) Graduation credits are composed of specific required courses and elective courses chosen by the student. The chart above includes the minimum requirements for courses and credits needed to graduate.
Fine Arts & Financial Literacy Requirements
Fine Arts & Financial Literacy Requirements
Students are required to complete two semesters of fine arts between grades 7 and 12 to meet this graduation requirement. Courses taken in grades 7 or 8 do not count for elective credit, but do count toward the course completion requirement. Students attending a Great Oaks program do not have to meet this requirement. If a student is planning to attend a four year college, it is recommended by the counseling department that the student complete one credit of high school level fine arts (two semester long courses).
Financial Literacy is required by the State of Ohio. For students who in the Classes of 2023, 2024 & 2025 Milford includes the financial literacy curriculum as a component of our Government course. Students who complete Government through another option such as College Credit Plus must make sure to meet the financial literacy requirement another way.
Starting with the Class of 2026, the State of Ohio requires that students have a .5 credit of financial literacy taken as its own course. The Classes of 2026 and beyond will only be required to complete 4.5 credits of elective instead of 5 credits since they are completing a .5 credit of financial literacy.
