Additional Points English and Social Studies must be taken all 4 years 4 credits of English, Math and Social Studies are required to graduate 3 credits of Science are required to graduate – Biology must be taken in 10th grade Consult page 3 in the Program of Studies for all of the course requirements Some students choose to elect a study hall by selecting less than a full 32 units (32 units = 8 credits = a full schedule). One study hall in the schedule every day for one marking period = 30 units (7.5 credits) Consult with 9th grade teachers in regards to academic recommendations
