Graduation

Participation in the commencement exercises at St. Anthony High School is a privilege, not a right. Only those students who have satisfactorily completed all the requirements for a diploma may participate. Students will be excluded from participating in the commencement exercises for a scholastic failure, a serious breach in the school's discipline code, failure to fulfill financial requirements, excessive absences, and failure to complete the school Christian Service Hours requirement. ​

A senior who does not satisfy all his or her course requirements by the end of her senior year and fails to graduate, must attend an accredited summer school program and attain a passing grade in the missing course(s) according to the standards prescribed by August 31 of the summer immediately following senior year. Likewise, any student who fails to satisfy the school's Christian Service Hours requirement, must complete the missing hours by August 31 of the summer immediately following senior year. Failure to meet this requirement results in forfeiture of a St. Anthony High School diploma.
