Graduation requirements to change is approved by school board

High school students might be required to complete an extra physical science course starting with next years freshman class if approved by school board later this year.

"Currently students need three science credits to graduate," said Jeff Patterson, district science coordinator. "Students will still need three science credits to graduate the only difference would be one of them has to be a physical science."

Students will have many options of science classes to choose to meet this requirement.

If approved, this new requirement will begin with the class graduating in 2014.
