Graduation Requirements
Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for completing all graduation requirements at the proper time rests with the student. While faculty and counselors will assist students in planning their program, they are not expected to relieve the students of their responsibility.
Twenty-three credits are required for graduation from Wausau West High School. Course and testing requirements, including certain required courses, are outlined below.
Note: Wausau West High School graduation requirements are NOT college admission requirements.
Please refer to the Post-Secondary Prep page of the Registration Handbook to become aware of general college requirements. Specific requirements can be found in each college handbook or on-line. Please see your counselor or Career Center Coordinator for more information.
Note: 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.
Note: 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.
