Athletics Mission Statement

In high school a pupil's progress from one grade to the next is based on the number of earned credits. Students are required to complete one unit from each of the four academic areas each year. Students with deficiencies in required subjects need to enroll in summer school. The conversion back to seven periods will adjust the number of credits as follows:
