Students must complete 24 credits in Grades 9 through 12 in order to attain a high school diploma and to help prepare them for further education or employment after graduation. Individualization of these curricular options is possible with the approval of the principal. However, since the primary goal of each program is to prepare students for life, approved program alterations must result in improved educational opportunities. Students are expected to carry a full academic schedule of at least 7 credits and may have no more than 1 study hall period on any day.
