Douglas County considering changes to graduation
Douglas County School District board of trustees is seeking input concerning the formal graduation ceremony at the two high schools.
Currently, there is a formal ceremony for students receiving a standard, special education adjusted, advanced or honors diploma and a separate ceremony for the adult diploma recipients.
The standard, advanced and honors diplomas require a minimum of 23 credits, passage of all high school proficiencies, and completion of district competencies. The adult diploma requires 20.5 credits and passage of all high school proficiencies.
Students not meeting the graduation requirements do not participate in either ceremony.
Trustees are considering combining the two ceremonies. Take this survey to have your opinion heard.
