Graduation Requirements Special Notes
Students may waive their 2nd year of PE by playing a school or club sport, marching band or performing group participation.
Most students within the CCSD earn their computer credit in middle school
While foreign language is not required to graduate, most colleges and universities required at least 2 years of 1 language for admission
Students must pass all 4 Nevada High School Proficiency Exams (NHSPE): Math, Reading, Science and Writing to receive a diploma.
While all classes count toward CCSD graduation, colleges mainly look at a student’s grades in core subjects for admission.
