505.7 Early Graduation

EARLY GRADUATION

Generally, students will be required to complete the necessary course work and graduate from high school at the end of grade twelve.  Students may graduate prior to this time if they meet the minimum graduation requirements stated in Board policy.  Students who wish to graduate at the end of the first semester must make an application to the Board no later than the December Board meeting, and the student must have the approval of the Board.  Students who wish to graduate a year early must make an application to the Board no later than the August Board meeting, and the student must have the approval of the Board.

A student who graduates early will no longer be considered a District student and will become an alumnus of the Decorah District.  However, the student who graduates early may participate in commencement exercises, senior banquet, prom and other activities for seniors held within the District.
