of these programs, an incoming ninth grade student will have to earn an additional
credit in math and an additional credit in science.
Certificates of Coursework Completion
A certificate of coursework completion will be issued to a senior student who
successfully completes state and local credit requirements for graduation, but fails to
perform satisfactorily on the exit-level examination. Those students will be allowed to
participate in the graduation exercise.
Students with Disabilities
Upon the recommendation of the admission, review, and dismissal committee, a student
with disabilities may be permitted to graduate under the provisions of his or her
individual education plan (IEP).
Graduation and Senior Activities
Baccalaureate Services and Commencement Exercises: The superintendent will contact
all speakers and platform guests involved in the program for these graduation events.
Caps and Gowns: The school will pay rental on caps and gowns for graduation. Students
who wish to buy an extra tassel or cap must pay for them.
