the 10th grade HS Proficiency Test (Formerly WASL) in reading and writing.

algebra or geometry must be passed. For the class of 2015 and
beyond-- both the end-of-course algebra and geometry tests must be
passed. *For the class of 2012, the math proficiency can be
satisfied by earning 2 credits of math in the junior and/or senior
years.
For the class of 2015 and beyond, the end of course exam
in biology must be passed.
2. Complete a Culminating Project (See
requirements listed on the PHS Counseling web site). This includes
completing an Annual High School and Beyond Plan.

class periods will be required to earn more -- please ask your counselor
.
[For the class of
2016 and beyond, CTE (occupational) classes that can satisfy more than 1
graduation requirement (such as fine art and occupational) count
for both categories-- 2 for 1. A semester class still earns only
.5 credit, but 2 requirements can be satisfied at the same time--
