WHS Graduation Requirements

Graduation Requirements

The Wautoma Area School District awards high school graduation diplomas to recognize those students who have fulfilled the academic requirements of the District. In order to graduate from high school and to receive a diploma, a student in the District must meet the requirements set out in this policy. The policy requirements are grounded in the District’s standards, curriculum, and Wisconsin State Statute 118.33.

Students in the WASD have access to courses that provide a balanced academic background which meet a broad array of interests and needs. Students in grades 9-12 will be expected to successfully complete those courses (required and elective) necessary to meet the 24 required credits during the high school years as established by the Board and listed in the policy.
