| A student is required to successfully complete 21.5 credits to graduate. One credit equals two semesters of course work. All required courses, listed below, must be successfully completed (passing grade) in order to graduate.
Students in grades 9-12 are required to complete 15 hours of community service for each year of high school. Hours spent working for most community organizations, most non-profit organizations, and some school-sponsored activities would satisfy the requirement. See PMCA Service Program page for details.
