State Requirements for Graduation
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A student shall successfully complete a minimum of 26 units of credit in an individual program, which shall be cooperatively planned by the student, the student’s parents, and the school to meet high school graduation requirements. Transfer students may receive substitution from Carnegie Units.
ELIGIBILITY FOR DIPLOMA
Since HBCS has a contractual relationship with its parents and students, and since the handbook is an integral part of this contractual agreement, all parties are reminded of the following:
Full participation in the graduation ceremony at HBCS is a privilege and not a right for the individual student and his parents/guardians.
Therefore, the privilege of graduating with one’s class on graduation day is governed by the following principles:
● Successful completion of the course of studies required by the State of Louisiana,
● Successful completion of the course of studies as required by HBCS, and
● Certification by HBCS as having followed the rules and regulations of the school, to such a degree that the student is worthy of the privilege of being an active participant in the graduation ceremony.
● Successful completion of the course of studies required by the State of Louisiana,
● Successful completion of the course of studies as required by HBCS, and
● Certification by HBCS as having followed the rules and regulations of the school, to such a degree that the student is worthy of the privilege of being an active participant in the graduation ceremony.
Transfer students may be given partial waiver on HBCS graduation requirements that exceed state requirements as determined by the administration.
