Diploma Requirements
Students are required to have at least 24 credits to graduate.
Credits are earned during 9th -12th grades. Credit classes are
given a half credit each semester. At the end of a student’s 8th
grade year, it is time for parents and students to choose a plan
for which diploma track the students will take. It is important
to make an informed decision, so the following information has
been provided to assist in making a decision:
Students will take the required four core subjects each year
from 9th -12th grade; however, there are some distinct
differences in the specific courses that may be taken. Also
there are different electives provided and/or required according
to the diploma choice.
If any credit classes are failed, credit is not given for those
classes; therefore, classes will need to be made up through
summer school or correspondence courses. One requirement for
Advanced Diploma is that all classes must be taken on campus.
Students must pass all parts of the Alabama High School
Graduation Exam in order to graduate for both the Standard and
Advance Diploma.
Students who choose the Standard Diploma Track will attend the
Winston County Technical Center during their 10th, 11th, and
12th grade years.
