Graduation Requirements

 
In order to acknowledge each student’s successful completion of the instructional program appropriate to the achievement of District goals and objectives as well as personal proficiency, the Board of Education awards a diploma to eligible students at a graduation ceremony.
The Board shall award a regular high school diploma to every student enrolled in this District who meets the requirements of graduation established by this Board or who properly completes the goals and objectives specified in his/her individualized education program (IEP) including either the exemption from or the requirement to complete the tests required by the State Board of Education in order to graduate. Each student must demonstrate, unless exempted, at least a proficient level of skill on the tests required by the State Board of Education to graduate.

To enhance your chances for admission to the university and academic program of your choice, you are encouraged to take the most rigorous curriculum available that is appropriate for you. Required courses are marked with an asterisk (*) in the course selection guide for each department.
In addition to the curricular graduation requirements noted in the previous section, all students must fulfill the following requirements set forth by the Ohio Department of Education based on graduation year. In order to graduate from Granville High School, students attending GHS less than full-time must earn a minimum of 12 credits from Granville High School (through traditional, credit flex, and/or CCP coursework). Additionally, they must meet the requirements for graduation set forth by the State of Ohio and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.
Per district policy, credit earned via homeschool courses or non-accredited institutions may be received as pass/fail credit, letter grades, or not recognized for credit.

Additionally:

•  Part-time students who wish to graduate from GHS are encouraged to communicate this   desire as early as possible in their high school career. They MUST inform their school   counselor prior to the start of their junior year.
•  The school district has the final decision on the acceptance/denial of homeschool credits   towards graduation requirements. For parents who are homeschooling and decide to enroll   their student at GHS, the superintendent will determine the appropriate grade level   placement for each student. For high school students, the Superintendent will evaluate which credits MAY be applied toward the district's requirements for graduation.
•  Only students who have successfully completed requirements for graduation may   participate in commencement exercises.
