Post-secondary Course Graduation Requirement
Beginning with the Class of 2023, each Neenah High School graduate will be required to enroll in and complete at least one post-secondary, credit yielding, course prior to graduation.
As we prepare graduates of Neenah Joint School District to be college and career ready, one critical experience is the completion of a post-secondary course prior to graduation. Students participating in these post-secondary course opportunities will experience the rigor and depth of college or technical college courses while receiving the support and guidance of Neenah High School staff and earning college credit. Post-secondary course opportunities would include dual credit technical college courses, AP® courses, and CAPP courses. It is understood that flexibility and accommodations may need to be provided to students based on learning needs, post-secondary and career goals.
