Graduation Requirements (academic and assessment)
Do I need to take summer school?
This presentation addresses minimum graduation requirements for the State of Ohio.
It does not address the Diploma with Honors which requires much more rigorous coursework and assessment scores.
Also, if a student does earn a Diploma with Honors, it does not show on the transcript until final transcripts are posted after commencement when there is definitive proof that the student has earned it.
