Criteria

Graduation is not an automatic situation.  In order to insure the academic integrity of the school, certain academic requirements must be attained in order to graduate. It is expected that all students pass all of their major subjects.  Any students who fail two or more major subjects for the year will not receive a diploma until they have successfully completed an Accredited Summer School program. These students will be allowed to participate in Graduation ceremonies and will receive their diploma upon successful completion of Summer School.

Awards

Medals of Excellence are presented for General Excellence, Religion, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, Physical Education, Spanish, Computer Science, Music, Art and Library  Science.

If a “U” or “I” is received in Special Subjects, the student will not receive an academic award.  Students who have severe disciplinary notices will not be eligible for Graduation awards.

Presidential Academic Awards are presented to students who have achieved an “A” average or better in all subjects, achieved a rating of the 85th percentile in Reading and Math, according to the administered standardized tests and good ratings from Grades 4-8.

Ceremony

Participation in the Graduation ceremony may be denied a student for inappropriate behavior. 

Acceptance into High School is dependent upon successful completion of the 8th grade curriculum.
