a student has to have passed four classes in the previous semester, and he or she also has to be currently enrolled

in four classes and meet all district requirements as listed in the student handbook under Extra/Co-Curricular

Student Activities Guidelines.

Graduation Requirements

It is the student’s responsibility to meet all requirements for graduation, post-secondary plans, and scholarships are

being met. Students must register each year for courses required to meet high school graduation and post high

school career and study goals. Counselors, teachers and principals are available to help students in their decisions.

SDMyLife.com is a student resource for academic and career planning. ALL students must complete a Four Year Academic Planner, formerly called PLP, showing a minimum of 22 credits on to meet graduation requirements. The goal of the Four Year Academic Planner is to help students develop a four year high school plan that meets their career and education goals. Stevens 9th and 10th graders are provided this opportunity in class, and it is the responsibility for 12th and new students to complete and revise this process before graduation. For more information or it you have questions, please come to student services.
