FACTS AND FIGURES Enrollment Requirements High school graduation requirements are determined on a district-wide scope by the School Board. The district has been pressured to make graduation requirements more challenging, as students must be adequately prepared for higher education or competitive enough to work in today's business world. Credits are units of measure in determining an individual student's progress through High School. For each course semester in which a student completes (with a grade of D- or better), they are awarded one-half credit unit, with the exception of Physical Education (one semester of P.E. is equal to an eighth of a credit). The table below shows the graduation requirements for each of the graduating classes by year: CONTROVERSIES SEE ALSO REFERENCES 1 2 3 EXTERNAL LINKS |
