 A minimum of 24 credits are required to be completed in the province of Saskatchewan in order to be eligible to graduate.  Among the 24 are selected compulsory (required) courses and electives (classes you choose to take).

 Taking the minimum 24 credits may allow you to graduate, but does not ensure you will meet the requirements for post-secondary (university, technical schools, etc) programs.

 Each class you pass earns you 1 (one) credit toward the 24 you need as a minimum to graduate.  During the year, a student at SHHS can earn 10 credits. If you are part of Band, High Performance, or other specialty classes, you may be able to earn more.

 At Sacred Heart, Grade 12 students are not required to take a full course load, but a minimum of 8 credits should be completed.  Students in Gr. 12 must be enrolled in a minimum of 4 credits to be eligible for recommends & Semester 1 Honor Roll.

 Credits recognized at the Grade 10 level end in “10”. Credits recognized at the Grade 11 level end in “20”, and credits recognized at the Grade 12 level end in “30” Eg. Christian Ethics 10 = Gr. 10 Christian Ethics 20 = Gr. 11 Christian Ethics 30 = Gr. 12

 Credits that end in the number “1” recognize a modified program of study (eg. Math 11)  Credits that end in the number “8” recognize an alternate program of study (eg. Math 18)  Modified and alternate courses allow students to graduate, but will limit some post-secondary options.

 Approval from SHHS administration, guidance department, and consultation with families must be completed before a student will be registered in a Modified or Alternative class.

 A “prerequisite” is a course you are required to successfully complete before you can take another course.  Eg. Science 10 is the prerequisite for taking Biology 20, Chemistry 20, Physics 20, Computer Science 20.

 In Grade 12 at SHHS, the following classes are required: ◦ Christian Ethics 30 or Education Chretienne 30  As part of our Christian Ethics courses, a Service component is required.
