MAKE SURE YOUR TRANSCRIPT IS CORRECT. Colleges, scholarships, the military, or a job will all likely require an official high school transcript. Do your best this year. Many admission/award decisions are made based on your transcript through your junior year.

CREDIT CHECKS Required courses are on the left; electives on the right. To graduate, everyone needs 17.5 credits of required courses and 4.5 credits of elective courses (minimum). Remember – if you plan to apply for scholarships and/or attend college next year, your course selection is very important. See your counselor if you have questions about course selection.

IMPORTANT NOTES Grade Replacement - If you retook a class for a higher grade, you can request that the lower grade come out of your GPA. Forms are in the guidance office. Some restrictions apply; see your counselor with questions. Any Combination of the Following: (Bottom left side of your credit check) – You must take 1 credit of any combination of World Language(s) or Career & Technical Ed courses. Math & Science – If you are college bound, we recommend you take extra credits of math and science.

See your counselor for the waiver.  If your 3 science credits do not include chemistry or physics, your parent must sign a science waiver before you can graduate. See your counselor to approve your 3 rd science credit and give you the waiver.  If you are currently failing (cumulatively) a class you need to graduate, we recommend you sign up for it next year.
