Preparing for Graduation
Preparation for high school graduation truly begins the first day of high school. Whether a graduate intends to continue an education at a trade school, community college, four-year university or go directly into the workforce, preparation to earn that high school diploma takes all four years. Much of the early preparation for high school graduation focuses on planning and goal-setting. Preparation during the sophomore and junior years turns to academic effort and extracurricular interests while the senior year requires preparations for the final graduation ceremony.

CAHSEE Suspended - Update on Issuing Diplomas to Former Students:
With the signing of SB 172 by Governor Brown, school districts are now required to issue diplomas going back to the 2004 graduating class for those students who met the districts criteria but did not pass one or both sections of the CAHSEE. This law goes into effect on January 1, 2016, and diplomas cannot be issued prior to this date. The district will be working with the high school registrars on identifying former students who are now eligible and establishing timelines and protocols for pick-up.
