High School Curriculum 2023-2024

Welcome

High school course planning and scheduling can be an exciting time for students and their families. Navigating the many requirements and options can be challenging. In an effort to communicate this important information the Grandview Heights High School staff have taken the various portions of the high school curriculum and put together brief video installments for students and parents to view. Graduation Requirements Overview Part 1 outlines the credits needed for graduation. Part 2 (for the Class of 2022 AND for the Class of 2023 and Beyond) focuses on the additional pathways for graduation.
