High School Classification: One-half credit is awarded at the high school level for each semester grade of 60% or higher. High school students will be classified based on the number of credits earned and are required to make graduation required courses at a cost to the student (if necessary). High school students are classified accordingly by credits earned: Freshmen 0-5; Sophomore 6-12; Junior 13-18; Senior 19 and above. When a student earns the credits needed for graduation, the student will graduate. Students will not participate in graduation ceremony unless all credits have been earned and verified.
