Graduating from Colton High School
-
Graduation is based upon completion of 220 credits. Credits earned beyond the specifically required courses below will be considered electives. Five semester credits are earned for each semester course passed (except for courses that are board approved to receive more). Students must be careful not to repeat courses, as no academic courses are awarded as repeated credits.
Your school counselor is one of your best resources as you plan for finishing high school and preparing for college.
