Important Notice: By meeting these minimum graduation requirements without taking additional rigorous courses, you may be unprepared for future jobs, education, or military opportunities. Our recommendation is that each student take the most rigorous selection of courses, based on their future goals, which they can successfully manage.
Wausau West High School graduation requirements are NOT college admission requirements. Specific requirements can be found in each college handbook or online. Please see your counselor or Career Center Coordinator for more information.
**Students who are excused from Physical Education for medical reasons will find it necessary to earn additional credits to obtain the required number for graduation. A physician statement that excuses the student from Physical Education needs to be on file in the Nurse's Office. If you have questions, please see your counselor.
