Graduation Requirements

The best place to kick off the registration posts is with the ultimate goal - Graduation! It is important to be aware of the graduation requirements as you plan your course selection.

Current Juniors (to be Seniors) have the following requirements for graudation:
- 4 credits of English (which includes 1/2 a credit of Speech)
- 3 credits of Math
- 3 credits of Science
- 3 credits of Social Studies (which includes 1/2 a credit of Government)
- 1/2 a credit of Physical Education (2 classes, each worth 1/4 credit)
- 1/2 a credit of Health
- 6 credits of Electives

Current Freshman and Sophomores (soon to be Sophomores and Juniors) have the following graduation requirements:
- 4 credits of English (which includes 1/2 a credit of Speech)
- 4 credits of Math
- 3 credits of Science
- 3 credits of Social Studies (which includes 1/2 a credit of Government)
- 1/2 a credit of Physical Education (2 classes, each worth 1/4 credit)
- 1/2 a credit of Health
- 5 credits of Electives
- All students must have had a year's worth of fine art coursework between grades 7 - 12

And, just in case any of you have younger siblings who are currently in 8th grade - their requirements are the same as the Freshman and Sophomore requirements with the additional requirement that they must have a course in Financial Literacy.

Speaking of graduation, current seniors, don't forget, tomorrow is the last day to order your cap and gown before the price jumps from $28 to $55! Go online and order it today!

I wanted to remind everyone that the online registration window is now OPEN! I also wanted to let you know that I will be out all day tomorrow for a meeting at central office.
