Graduation Pathways
"This is very different from when I was in high school." I hear that from families all the time, and they are right!
Take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with the new Ohio graduation requirements via the infographic and/or the video we made. Some courses can be used to help students complete requirements, so knowing this prior to scheduling is helpful.
You can also visit our Graduation page for all things graduation.
And if you have questions, ask, we are here to help.
