Graduation Requirements
Our High School curriculum and graduation requirements are aligned with the Jefferson County Content Standards. However, students are offered and encouraged to take more "core" classes including four years of math, three years of science, and three years of foreign language. Each student receives help with academics, career/college planning, and college scholarship and application processing. Scheduling is reviewed to make sure each student receives the required number of hours and credits.
