Complete a culminating project and High School and Beyond Plan. Your high school advisor will help you plan each step to complete your high school graduation requirements.
Pass State Tests or State-approved alternative.
Students must earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA), by passing the reading and writing High School Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) and an End-of-Course (EOC) mathematics exam, or an approved alternative for each area.
