Earn at least the minimum number of credits designated by the high school the student attends. In Canyons School District, credit requirements range from 24 to 28 credits, depending upon the scheduling system of each high school and graduation year. 2. Meet attendance and residency requirements as designated by the high school. High School Course and Credit Requirements, and Advanced and Honors Diploma Options College- and Career- Readiness is strongly linked to the classes students take. The more rigorous the coursework, the better prepared the student. Canyons School District offers students two advanced diploma options, in addition to the state graduation requirements, to help them be better prepared for college and the workforce. The three diploma options are as follows: 1. Canyons Standard Diploma: The default diploma will remain aligned with the Utah State Office of Education graduation requirements. 2. Advanced Diploma: The Advanced Diploma will require additional credits beyond the standard diploma including but not limited to 2.0 credits of world language. The Advanced Diploma also requires credits to be earned in more rigorous courses in math, science, social studies, and English. In addition, the Advanced Diploma has a minimum GPA requirement. See Canyons School District Diploma Chart for more information. 3. Honors Diploma: To earn the Honors Diploma, students must complete the Advanced Diploma’s requirements and an increased minimum GPA, plus meet College Readiness Benchmark Scores on the ACT college-entrance exam. Canyons School District has set aside funding for all students to take the ACT in 11th grade. School counselors and teachers utilize this ACT assessment information as they partner with parents and students to tailor plans for the future. See Canyons School District Diploma Chart for more information. 3 Canyons High School Diploma Options – Class of 2017 - 2021 The Utah State Legislature requires all students pass a basic civics test in order to receive a high school diploma.
