Graduation Project:
Students are required to successfully complete a graduation project in order to receive a diploma.
Graduation Rubric:
To graduate from Central High School, students must meet the requirements of completing the required courses of planned instruction at a basic level or above, attain proficiency scores on the Pennsylvania State System of Assessment, complete a culminating project and demonstrate mastery of PA Academic Standards.
Students who have not demonstrated mastery of the PA Academic Standards by scoring at the “proficient” level or above on any of the three parts of the PSSA may still become eligible for a diploma by meeting the requirements of the local assessment rubric set below…
Students identified as having special needs and qualifying for an Individual Educational Program will graduate by meeting the requirements of their IEP.
This plan has been adopted by the Spring Cove School District Core Team and School Board. It will go into effect with the Class of 2004.
