To earn a diploma from District 6, high school students must earn a total of 22.0 credits, with specific requirements in certain areas (please see below).

One year’s worth of successful study and achievement in a class will result in 1.0 credit being awarded to the student; a semester-long class will result in 0.5 credits earned. Students are designated as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors based on the number of credits they have acquired, rather than the number of years they have been in school.

• LANGUAGE ARTS: 4.0 credits required
• MATH: 3.0 credits required
• SCIENCE: 3.0 credits required
