Graduation Requirements

Each spring, counselors hold 1:1 graduation meetings with every high school student, updating and tracking all components of graduation. Copies are sent home with students to share with families and additional copies can be requested as needed. Please reach out to your counselor if you have any questions regarding graduation and student progress.
