High School Graduation Requirements
All students wishing to obtain a diploma from Brookshire International Academy must earn a minimum of 25% of the required credits at Brookshire to receive a diploma from Brookshire.
To receive a high school diploma, students must fulfill state and district graduation requirements. State-mandated graduation course requirements (the state minimums) follow:
- Four years of English
- Four years of mathematics (including Algebra I)
- Three years of social science (including U.S. history and geography; world history, culture, and geography; one semester of American government; and one semester of economics)
- Four years of science (including biology and physical science)
- Two years of physical education
- One year of foreign language or visual and performing arts or commencing with the 2012–13 school year, career technical education.
Students who successfully complete Algebra I in middle school must still complete a minimum of two years of mathematics in high school. Recognizing that these 24 courses of preparation are state minimum requirements, local school boards often set local graduation requirements that exceed the state-mandated requirements.
