  1. SHS Graduation Requirements 2014, 2015, 2016

  2. State testing Reqs

  3. English * For graduation, students do not have to necessarily have freshman, sophomore, and junior English. While that is ideal, a senior who is missing one of these classes, but makes it up with extra senior English electives will be alright.

  4. Math *Some students who took Algebra prior to 9th grade may not have Algebra on their transcript. In this case, if the student has taken an additional year of math beyond Algebra 2 (typically pre-calc), they will have met the state math requirement. If not, they will need to go to their previous school and request that the credit be added to their transcript. ** Algebra 2 or Money Talks will count as a 3rd year of math. Please remind students that most 4-year universities will not accept Money Talks as math credit. Students planning on attending a 4-year college will need a 4th credit of math.

  5. Science *All incoming sophomores should take a year of biology to prepare them for the Biology EOC. If a student does not pass their biology class, they do not necessarily have to recover biology. The state requires a credit of lab science, but it is not biology specific. NEW – Agricultural Biology (meets state bio standards) College bound students will want to take a full year of either Chemistry or Physics.

  6. Social Studies All students must meet the Washington State History requirement. This is usually accomplished in the 7th grade. If you have not met this requirement, you may take Pacific NW History in high school for credit. College bound students will need 3.0 credits of Social Studies.

  7. Physical Education & Health *In addition to typical P.E. classes, “Changes For A Healthy You” and “Sports Medicine” can count as P.E. credit.

  8. Occupational Education All CTE classes count as Occupational Education. Also, see page 7 of the course catalogue for courses that have the option to be cross-credited as Occ. Ed.

  9. Fine Art See course catalogue for cross-credit options.

  10. Electives • Students need enough elective credit to fill until they reach 22 credits. • This will typically mean that a student needs 6.5 elective credits, but the number changes based on the number of waived credits in other areas and particular cohort requirements. • College bound students will need to take 2.0 consecutive credits of a foreign language.

  11. Culminating Project and HS and Beyond HS and Beyond • Required to graduate! • Guidance takes part in CSI curriculum • Career Interest Driven • Large Group Guidance • Consultation with Counselors • Presented as a document at the end of the senior year that shares your plan Culminating Project • Required to graduate! • Guidance takes part in CSI curriculum

  12. In Conclusion… • Please double check that students are on track in their progress toward graduation. • If a student is behind, please speak with them about credit retrieval or summer school. • If you see something that doesn’t look right, let us know. Sometimes, credits don’t sort properly and things can get confusing.
