Graduation requirements policy revised

Recently school board members approved a revision of Policy 2410 which pertains to Graduation Requirements.

This move aligns local requirements to new state graduation targets this year's Class of 2008 will be responsible for meeting, according to a report from Wa-Hi Assistant Principal Mira Gobel.

The four steps to graduation for the Class of 2008 and beyond:
1. High School and Beyond Plan
2. Earn required credit
3. Earn Certificate of Academic Achievement (WASL)
4. Culminating Project

Soon Wa-Hi seniors will be presenting their Culminating Project. The students are creating PowerPoint presentations, professional binders, video productions, visual aids, and/or combinations of various modes of presentation.

Students will tell their stories via their accomplishments in music, visual arts, academics, athletics, community involvements and/or challenges they had to overcome.

Gobel is actively seeking community members to participate on evaluation panels.

"We believe that this event will be a celebration of our collective efforts and will provide each senior a moment to reflect on their past, present, and the future."

Those interested in serving on an evaluation panel are asked to contact and RSVP to Mira Gobel @ 526-8661 or mkgobel@wwps.org. More information regarding new state graduation requirements is available on the Wa-Hi website.
