Graduation Paths and Requirements
Click here for more
information on the new graduation requirements for
incoming freshmen.
All students will pursue
a focused program of study preparing them for
postsecondary study in either university or technical
training. While all students may not enter postsecondary
training immediately following high school, they must be
prepared for life-long learning. The paths will be
flexible so a student can change from one path to the
other. Students in both paths will acquire essential
skills and knowledge. Students entering the ninth grade
in 2001-2002 or after must successfully complete the
Gateway examinations. Beginning with the freshman class
of 2003-2004, graduating class of 2007, the
valedictorian and salutatorian shall take a minimum of
ten (10) honors or above honors level courses throughout
the four years of high school.
