JCSD Policy

A student who wishes to graduate from high school in less time than the ordinary grade 9-12 sequence may request permission to complete graduation requirements on an altered schedule. The student and his/her parents will consult with high school guidance personnel to develop a graduation plan. Their intention to accomplish this plan will be stated in writing to the superintendent.

A student may satisfy graduation requirement in less than four years. The district will award a diploma to a student fulfilling graduation requirements in less than four years upon the student’s request and if the student’s parent or guardian consents, if required.

Students who have successfully completed the junior year with fewer than the required credits for graduation and are then accepted at accredited colleges may receive their high school diplomas if, at the completion of the first semester, they have successfully fulfilled the district’s minimum diploma requirements.
