Graduation Requirements

Classification of Students

Students will advance forward in grade level based on the number of years they have been in high school. Students are no longer required to meet a minimum credit threshold to advance to the next grade level; however, students must meet all graduation requirements in order to graduate. The following chart should be used as a guide to evaluate whether a student is on track for graduation.

Graduation Requirements
