Obtain final and official approval from the principal who will weigh each request on its
own merits with consideration to early acceptance into college or some other acceptable
education or vocational program or extreme economic hardship
All other requests for early graduation other than those stipulated above will require the
approval of the Superintendent of Schools. In no case will students be permitted to
graduate earlier than the end of Grade 11
Since the Board of Education believes that a student’s high school experience is beneficial both
academically and socially, it will not be the intent of this policy to encourage students to request
early graduation simply for the purpose of seeking an early termination to their formal education
process.
Students who have been granted permission for early graduation will receive their diplomas in
June and may participate in commencement activities. All graduation expenses and obligations
should be met before leaving school (per Board of Education Policy 6146).
