Holy Family has very specific graduation requirements, more than most high schools, which makes sense cause we are a college prep school. To graduate, you need to accumulate 30 credits and achieve a GPA of no less than 1.0. To graduate with an Honors Diploma, you need to again get 30 credits and a GPA of 4.0 or better. Of those 30 credits, you need to take four years of math, English, and religion. You ned three years of world language and social science.
There are classes you are required to take to graduate that aren’t the main ones. You need two semesters of art credits, two semesters of P.E credits, a semester of speech, a semester of Health of Disciples, and a semester of American Government. With options to take AP Combined Government, which consists of AP American Government and AP Comparative Government, or you could just take AP American Government for credit. They also have a plain AP Comparative Government that you can take, but it does not count for your Government class you have to take in order to graduate.
In total, to graduate, you need to get 5.5 credits, which is 6 semesters of any of the electives they have to offer. All the electives they offer are; P.E.: Team sports, Lifetime, and Stength and Conditioning, Performina arts; Experiments in Art, Drama I or II, Ceramics I or II, Introduction to Guitar, Drawing I or II, Intermediate Guitar, Painting I or II, Introduction to Piano, Sculpture I or II, Intermediate Piano, Wood Crafts I: Design and Technique, Voice, Wood Crafts II: Design and Technique, Intermediate Mixed Choir, Leather Crafts I: Design and Technique, Festival Choir, Leather Crafts II: Design and Technique, Concert Band, Jewelry Making I or II, Orchestra, Stained Glass Craft I or II, Percussion, Computer Design I or II, Symphonic Band, Digital Photography I or II 1.0 A.P.
