Georgia Graduation Requirements
The chart below represents the graduation requirements for 9th
graders enrolling at the high school in 2008-2009 or later. ALL
students will be required to complete the requirements listed
above. Your selection of courses will be extremely important.
In addition, guidance from adults (parents, counselor, advisor,
instructors) can assist you in making these very important
decisions. Remember you should have done some investigation about
career possibilities prior to selecting your classes at the high
school. High school will begin to prepare you for the next step you
take and that will depend on the answer to the question, "Where Am
I Going?" Go to this web site for information about Georgia's HOT
JOBS! http://explorer.dol.state.ga.us/mis/current/hot_careers_current.pdf

Gathering information and keeping that information in an
organized, systematic format will help you and your
parents/guardian make more informed decisions about your future.
Selecting high school courses is one of the most important things
you will do because your future depends on it. Good Luck!!!
Remember there are other requirements for graduation such as
passing the Georgia
High School Graduation Test or your local system may require
