  14. Eastern HS Community Meeting Graduation Requirements (DCPS 24) This shows the basic program of study required to satisfy the DCPS graduation requirements. Note that this does not represent a FULL schedule. Depending on the type of schedule used by the school, students may earn a total of 28 to 32 credits. Thus, students can choose additional electives (besides the 3.5 electives already required within the DCPS 24) that meet their interests. For example, a student may take additional art or music classes as electives. NOTE: At least 2 of the 24 required credits must be earned through “College Level or Career Prep” courses.

  15. Eastern HS Community Meeting Student A: DCPS required 24 courses + electives This slide shows how a student could fulfill the graduation requirements and have a full schedule of courses while not take any of his/her SLC’s theme-related electives or other requirements. Student A would still participate in the college visits, guest speakers, etc. with other SLC classmates who may be taking more theme-related courses. Note also that Student A could increase the rigor of the courses at any point (as demonstrated in the English courses row).

  16. Eastern HS Community Meeting Student B: DCPS 24 + 2 Theme Courses Student B chooses to engage in the theme more than Student A does but not as much as Student C. The theme-related courses Student B takes are shaded in green. As with each student, Student B could use the electives in the schedule to pursue his/her interests, including the arts, business, additional world languages, advanced courses in a particular subject, or anything else in the school’s offerings.
