Basic Requirements for Chelan High School Graduation
(Beginning with Class of 2003)

Your grade level classification will be determined by the number of high school credits successfully earned by the start of each semester. Most classes count one credit. A student earns 3.5 credits per term, with a total of 7 credits per year. It is very important to balance your schedule for optimum success. You can only fail two electives in four years and still graduate on time unless you make up credits, which is difficult. Classes beginning the fall of 2000 will be both 60 minutes (all year) and 90 minute (block) for one term. Both will be for 1 credit even though the 60 minute class will equal 180 hours of instruction and the 90 minute 135 hours. Content of instruction will be modified to complete goals and objectives for both classes.
