Graduation	Requirements
It	is	required	that	all 8th grade	students maintain	a	passing	grade	in	all	subject	areas,	including	
behavior	and	effort.		In	addition,	students	must	also	complete 16 hours	of	Christian	Service	and	
attend	all	religious	activities	and	retreats.		A	certificate	of	attendance	rather	than	a	diploma	will	
be	issued	to	the	student	who fails	to	meet	all	academic	requirements.		This	includes	the	
obtainment	of	an	overall	averaged	2.0	GPA	in	grades	7-8	or	the	duration	of	the	time	they	have	
been	at	the	school	if	less	than	three	years. In	cases	involving	offenses	prior	to	graduation,	the	
student	is	immediately	suspended	and	is	not	allowed	to	participate	in	graduation	activities.
		
All	parents	are	required	to	attend	the	8th	grade	parent	meeting.		Each	parent	must	also	sign	and	
return	the	8th grade	graduation	form,	acknowledging	and	agreeing	to	all	terms	for	graduation.				
Graduation	fees	are	set	and	are	non-negotiable,	regardless	if	a	parent	chooses	to	opt	out	of	an	
activity	or	if	disciplinary	actions	prohibit	students	from	participating	in	a	portion	of	or	all	of	
graduation.
Tuition	and	all	additional	fees	must	be	paid	in	order	for	a	student	to	receive	their	gown,	
participate	in	all	graduation activities	and	receive	their	diploma.	The	recommended	date	to
have	all	accounts	settled	for	8th graders	is	April	30th.
