Pathways
General Information
In order to graduate high school, you must:
- Complete the TOPS University or a Jump Start Pathway
- Pass three EOC Tests in the following categories to earn a standard diploma: (a) English II or English III; (b) Algebra I or Geometry; and (c) Biology or American History
Upon entering high school, all freshmen are put on the TOPS University path. At the end of a student's sophomore year, they can choose to remain on that track or choose a Jump Start Pathway. Graduation requirements are different depending on which path (TOPS University or Jump Start) is chosen, so discuss with your guidance counselor what would be best!
