General Diploma A general diploma is only available to students whose parents feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum. To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt- out process must be completed. Core 40 is an admissions requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have additional admissions requirements). Financial aid from the state may be less or non- existent for a student earning a general diploma

Core 40 Opt-Out Process The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s progress. The student’s career/course plan is reviewed. The student’s parent/guardian determines whether the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum. Opt-out form signed by parent and student

Ethnic Studies ETHNIC STUDIES: Ethnic Studies provides a framework to broaden students’ perspectives concerning historical and contemporary lived experiences and cultural practices of ethnic and racial groups in the United States. This course may either focus on a particular ethnic or racial group or take a comparative approach across multiple groups. The course may include an analysis of the economic, intellectual,social, and political contributions of an ethnic or racial group(s), as well as the socio-political and economic forces that create systemic challenges to accessing resources and opportunities. As a result, this course will better prepare students for an increasingly diverse, global community and participation in a democratic society.

Government, We the People GOVERNMENT, We The People: In addition to the regular Government course content students will cover the We The People Curriculum. The primary goal of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution program is to promote civic competence and responsibility among Indiana's elementary, middle and high school students. The program includes an instructional component, focused on enhancing students’ understanding of the institutions of American constitutional democracy and discovering the contemporary relevance of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and a culminating activity of a simulated congressional hearing in which students “testify” before a panel of judges. Students demonstrate their understanding of constitutional principles and have opportunities to evaluate, take, and defend positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues. This class meets the Government class graduation requirement for an Indiana high school diploma
