Graduating Class Determination

GRADUATING CLASS DETERMINATION/CREDIT EARNED

Your anticipated date of graduation and graduating class designation is based on the number of credits that you have earned to date. This designation is determined by the number of credits a student can typically earn in a school year and still, realistically, graduate in four years. The categories are as follows:

9th Grade

Must have passed minimum of 50 Credits in junior high*

10th Grade

Must have passed minimum of 50 Credits

11th Grade

Must have passed minimum of 100 Credits

12th Grade

Must have passed minimum of 150 Credits

Graduate

A total of 240 credit hours of required classes are needed to graduate, which includes 80 hours of electives.

Required courses (whether junior high or high school level) must be passed. While a student may be promoted to the next grade level, he/she may be repeating a course(s) from the previous year(s)

*While junior high credits do not count toward high school graduation, a minimum number of credits must be passed to be promoted to the next grade level. Seventh graders are expected to pass 50 credits to be considered an eighth grader, and eighth graders are expected to pass another 50 credits to be promoted to high school (thus the 100 credits mentioned above to be considered a freshman in high school).
