Is it possible to graduate early?
Yes, students may decide to graduate a semester or a year early. Students who are interested in graduating early must meet with their school counselor to be sure they meet the eligibility criteria and make a graduation plan. Parents are encouraged to attend the meeting so they have a clear picture of what is expected. If the student is graduating a year early, then they must write a letter to the principal for confirmation and get permission to take senior classes.
