Early Graduation 

Students who complete all state and local graduation requirements may request permission to graduate early.  

Students shall not be permitted to graduate prior to the completion of the 7th semester of high school. A student who wishes to graduate from high school early may request permission to do so. The student and parents shall consult with high school administrative and/or guidance personnel in order to develop a graduation plan. The student’s request shall be in writing, addressed to the high school principal, state the reasons supporting the request, and include a letter of support from the student’s parents. 

Approval of each request for early graduation is to be determined by the high school principal on the merits of the individual circumstances; one case shall not set a precedent for others. (Refer to student handbook for procedures.) 

Exceptions to this seven semester rule may be made only under special circumstances as provided by law, or as recommended by the high school principal and approved by the Board of Education.
