Graduation Requirements

For the Class of 2023 & Beyond: As a student entering ninth grade on or after July 1, 2019, Ohio’s high school graduation requirements give more flexibility to choose a graduation pathway that builds on your strengths and passions – one that ensures you are ready for your next steps and excited about the future.

Ohio’s graduation requirements consist of three key components: 

  1. Course Completion (Credits): Students satisfy Ohio’s curriculum requirements and any additional local requirements as instructed by the Sycamore Board of Education. Students complete stated credit requirements below, with specific units required in each content area. 
  2. Competency Demonstration (Testing): Students demonstrate competency in the foundational areas of English language arts and mathematics or through alternative demonstrations. 
    1. Readiness Demonstration (Graduation Seals): Students demonstrate readiness for their post-high school paths by earning two seals that allow them to demonstrate important foundational and well-rounded academic and technical knowledge, professional skills, social and emotional competencies, and leadership and reasoning skills.
