LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

All students must complete a minimum of 22.5 credits, grades 9 through 12, to be certified for graduation. Credits are based on a time-in-class standard or the traditional Carnegie unit of credit determination. This is a list of the minimum credits which must be earned in designated subject areas, grades 9 through 12.

Electives make up the remaining 9 credits.
The following specific courses must be taken, satisfactorily completed, and included in the minimum credit requirement as outlined above, unless stated in an IEP or through the Able Learner Program.

Promotion From Ninth Grade...
Administrators from  East and West Junior High Schools and Lincoln High School will determine which students with credit deficiencies will be allowed to attend Lincoln High School. Ninth grade students considered credit deficient will be reviewed on a yearly basis. Each student will be evaluated on the credits earned, the required classes passed, the skills developed and the predictability of success at the high school.

Ninth grade students not enrolled for the first semester at Lincoln High School will remain at their junior high school for the entire ninth grade academic year. Semester transfers will not be allowed. 

Remember This About Graduation...
All graduation requirements and student obligations (fines, detentions, etc.) must be met before a student may receive a diploma or participate in the graduation ceremony. Appeals related to requirements, graduation, or participation in the graduation ceremony are subject to review by the high school principal. Students  that  plan on participating in the graduation ceremony must attend the graduation practice as scheduled. IT  IS  THE  STUDENT’S  RESPONSIBILITY  TO  MAKE  SURE  THAT  ALL  GRADUATION  REQUIREMENTS  ARE  MET.
