Required Core Courses: 12th Grade (Class of 2026)

12th grade students may have completed their Math and Science requirement (only 3 years are required to graduate), but they are strongly encouraged to take a 4th year of each in order to meet college admission requirements. Students who elect to take a 4th year of Math will be placed in the appropriate course by their Math teacher. 

Students who receive Special Education services are placed in the appropriate core classes by their Case Manager.

Students who receive English Language Learner services are placed in the appropriate core classes by teachers, based on their ACESS scores, WIDA level, and current progress. 

Advanced Coursework, Electives, and Other Graduation Requirements:

Students may continue in the IB Diploma or IB Medallion program in their 12th grade year. Students who wish to take advanced courses are not required to enroll in a full program but may elect to take individual IB or concurrent enrollment classes. Advanced courses fulfill the requirements for graduation.

12th grade students will round out their schedule with elective courses. Students can select from a variety of Fine Arts, Physical Education, World Language, and academic electives (including AVID). Read more about our course offerings on the Department pages.

Students need to complete one semester of Fit for Life and one semester of Health to graduate. Students may take these courses at any point in their High School career, but it is recommended that they complete both courses in their 9th grade year, if possible.

Students need to complete one semester of Ethnic Studies to graduate. Students may take these courses at any point in their High School career.
