Promotion Requirements
Students must earn credit in each grade in order to make progress toward graduation from high school in four years. Credit for a subject is awarded at the conclusion of a course after the student has satisfactorily completed all the requirements of that subject and has satisfied all instructional obligations with a passing final grade. Therefore, the credit a student earns determines if the student meets the requirements to be promoted each year to the next grade level.
