No Yes Student Service Student service is required for students who entered grade 9 for the first time in 1993-94. Students who earn 200 or more service learning hours, beyond the required 60 hours, will be eligible to receive a Certificate of Outstanding Service. The Student Service Learning Coordinator works with students to assist in implementing this graduation requirement and in the record keeping process. Courses and Credits A very comprehensive program is available for each student. All grades 9-12 courses are one semester in length.
Many programs continue for sequences of work longer than a semester.
There is no early graduation. Students normally take seven classes each semester. It is therefore possible for a student to earn 28 credits by graduation if he successfully passes all courses. The Montgomery County Board of Education has adopted policies for evaluating and reporting student progress. Students are graded on the attainment of instructional and performance objectives of the course.
