Graduation Requirements

Graduation Pathways

With Graduation Pathways, students are able to individualize their graduation requirements to align to their postsecondary goal of Enrollment, Employment, or Enlistment leading to service. No longer must all students fit into the same academic mold, but rather, they can choose the high school options that best meet their postsecondary goals and aspirations.

Beginning with the graduating class of 2023, Indiana high school students must satisfy all three of the following Graduation Requirements:

 

  1. Earn credits necessary for a High School Diploma;
  2. Learn and Demonstrate Employability Skills; AND
  3. Demonstrate Postsecondary-Ready Competencies.
