NC GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Over the past few years, the State Board of Education has changed graduation requirements to better reflect the skills and knowledge students need for success in the workplace, and in community colleges, colleges and universities. These Future-Ready requirements to receive a NC High School Diploma are now dependent on the specific year that the student enters high school for the first time as a ninth grader: between 2000-01 - 2008-09, between 2009-10 - 2011-12, or 2012-13 and later. Students in the Occupational Course of Study will meet the same requirements as those students who entered ninth grade in 2000-01.
Depending on when they entered as a ninth grader, students must meet specific course and credit requirements. *Some districts and schools require students to successfully complete additional courses and credits and/or a graduation project or other assignment in order to earn a high school diploma.
*At A.L. Brown High School, students are required to earn a minimum of 27 units of credit - 5 additional credits to the 22 units of credit that are required for first time ninth graders in 2012-13 by the NC State Board of Education. A.L. Brown High School students are also required to complete a graduation project during their senior year.
