  • Have at least a “C” average in the course

  • Have fewer than six absences from the class

  • Have no truancies from the class

  • Have not been suspended from the class

  • Are not incomplete on required assignments

Seniors not qualifying for the exemption will be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies but will not receive a diploma that day.
