Graduation Requirements
Advanced Placement, Honors, and College Early Admit courses are available providing students meet the established prerequisites. To graduate from Saint Anthony Junior Senior High School, a student must earn a minimum of fifty-six credits. Each term course earns one credit. Students must successfully complete all required courses to receive the Saint Anthony diploma. Any term failure grades receive no credit and credits must be made up in summer school in order to be promoted to the next grade level. Those students who pursue a college preparatory program should increase various requirements such as math, foreign language, and science to be accepted at many colleges and universities. In addition, many colleges are requiring a year of fine arts and technology classes.
