Nearing the end of the school year, there is a graduation event where the graduating Seniors formally graduate from High School and receive their diplomas. In most schools, seniors sit for formal senior portraits at the beginning of the school year or the summer prior to senior year.
These portraits are used in the upcoming graduating class's yearbook. The senior portraits in the yearbook are often in full color and bigger than the smaller black and white pictures typically used for lower grades, some may even have a caption or a quote from the student. Customarily there is a formal dance for this year's students, called senior prom.
Some schools hold a combined prom for juniors and seniors, while others segregate the two grades into separate dances. Private high schools have the authority to set their own graduation requirements. However, many private high schools do include at least the state minimum courses in order to ensure that students transitioning to or from public schools have less disruption in their progress toward graduation.
How many units are required to earn a California high school diploma? Local school districts establish the total number of units required to earn a California high school diploma. Most California public high schools require the equivalent of between 22 and 26 yearlong courses. Two semester courses equal one yearlong course. A yearlong course constitutes one Carnegie unit. Semester courses constitute one-half of a Carnegie unit.
But most school districts award ten local units for each Carnegie unit and five local units for a semester course. These districts require between and local units for high school graduation. However, local school districts vary in how local credit units are awarded for one year of study.
To determine how many credits entering students have earned toward local graduation requirements, multiply the local credit units awarded for one year of study times the number of qualifying yearlong courses they have completed.
What constitutes a year of study in terms of instructional minutes for a specific subject area? A year of study is two semesters of study in the same or related subject area. In general, the course is about 50 minutes per day, five days a week, for two semesters.
However, local school districts determine the actual organization of instructional time depending on their master schedule. Variances apply depending on holidays, professional development days, and block scheduling. We are relocating to a new school district in California and my child is in high school. Will my child be able to graduate at the same time as his current classmates? While California has a set of 13 minimum course requirements for high school graduation, each local school district in California may add its own requirements.
Therefore, it is very important that students entering a new California school district contact the new high school as soon as possible to have their progress toward fulfilling the graduation requirements of the new district reviewed.
The local school district officials can evaluate the transcripts and advise you on when your child can graduate. Do I have to complete Algebra I to graduate? Yes, beginning in the school year, all students must successfully complete coursework that meets or exceeds the rigor of the content standards of Algebra I prior to receiving a diploma of graduation from a high school.
Do students with disabilities have to complete Algebra I in order to earn a high school diploma? Yes, students with disabilities have to meet all state and local graduation requirements. Algebra I is a state graduation requirement. Your local school district may require additional math courses.
Some students with disabilities, due to the specific nature of their disability, may request a waiver of the Algebra I graduation requirement if, after all support services have been provided, the student cannot pass the course. My child has completed all but a couple of courses required for high school graduation but the school counselor says he or she must enroll in five courses each semester. Is this true?
This depends on the circumstances. California Education Code Section states: "Commencing with the first semester or quarter that begins after January 1, , pupils in grade 12 shall be enrolled in at least five courses each semester or the equivalent number of courses per quarter. I have completed all of the courses required for high school graduation but the school says I must complete a senior project in order to graduate.
Is this a state requirement for graduation? The California Education Code currently does not require that students complete a senior project. However, in California, local school districts have the authority and responsibility for determining graduation requirements. Therefore, local school districts do have the authority to require students to complete a senior project in order to receive a high school diploma.
The high school counselor at my child's school has told my child that he or she does not have enough credits to graduate.
What are my options for getting this situation resolved? All parents and guardians have the right to be fully informed about their children's academic progress toward graduation. As a parent or guardian, you should schedule a conference with the counselor.
