Graduation Requirements
Peak to Peak’s
graduation requirements have been developed based on the entrance
requirements of top colleges and universities as well as through analysis
of the components of a strong, academic high school curriculum. Students
must successfully complete a minimum of 220 credits in order to
graduate from Peak to Peak.
With the potential of
earning up to 280 credits in four years of high school at Peak to Peak (with
seven classes per semester of high school, 70 credits are possible per
year), there is considerable flexibility in a student’s high school
coursework to allow pursuit of a variety of elective courses and a wide
range of interests. In addition, each student is required to complete a
minimum number of hours of community service as a graduation requirement.
The minimum number of community service hours is to be determined by
graduating class year.
