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.

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.
