4. General Notes • Taking the minimum 24 credits may allow you to graduate, but does not ensure you will meet the requirements for post-secondary (university, technical schools, etc) programs.

5. General Notes • Each class you pass earns you 1 (one) credit toward the 24 you need as a minimum to graduate. • During the year, a student at SHHS can earn 10 credits. If you are part of Band, High Performance, or other specialty classes, you may be able to earn more.

8. General Notes • Credits that end in the number “1” recognize a modified program of study (eg. Math 11) • Credits that end in the number “8” recognize an alternate program of study (eg.
