    High School Graduation Requirements

    White Oak ISD presented by Kelley Hamm, Counselor
  2. New Graduation Requirements During the 83rd Texas Legislature, House Bill 5 was signed into law and changed high school graduation requirements for the students who will be freshmen during the 2014-2015 school year. The plan provides more flexibility for students to pursue higher education or a career pathway.
  3. Foundation Plan The law established one graduation plan - the Foundation High School Program - with an opportunity to earn at least one of five endorsements, along with distinguished and performance acknowledgements. The Foundation program requires 22 credits and earning one endorsement requires 4 credits, for a total of 26 credits.
  4. District Requirements White Oak HS will require students to graduate with 28 credits. Foundation – 22 credits (which includes: a required ½ credit of Professional Communications (Speech) and a required ½ credit of Health) plus Endorsement – 4 credits (includes 1 advanced math and 1 advanced science and 2 electives required to complete endorsement) plus Other Electives – 2 credits of choice from CTE, Fine Arts, Journalism, LOTE, Technology Applications.
  5. District Requirements High school students will be on an 8 period day and can earn up to 32 credits while in high school (which allows for student flexibility to take courses of interest, credit recovery, and/or earn multiple endorsements.)
