Standard High School Graduation Requirements

PROGRAM OF STUDIES

The Program of Studies describes the course offerings at Saint Clement Junior/Senior High School from which selections may be made to meet the particular need of each student. Each freshman must carry seven courses; sophomore, junior, and senior students take a program of six courses with the option of adding a seventh. Individuals should base course selection on personal ability, interests and aptitude as well as the requirements of a well balanced, college preparatory education. Serious discussions with parents, teachers, and counselors are vital in the important process of selecting courses.

We urge all students to pursue a program that is as demanding and challenging as possible in order to: 1) develop their God-given talents to the fullest, 2) increase their chances for admission to the college of their choice, and 3) expand their potential for success in college and life. Students who limit themselves to meeting only the basic requirements in a minimal fashion may reduce their chances for college admission and will find the transition to college more difficult.
