Battle Ground Public Schools Graduation Requirements

The Battle Ground School District wants the best for its students-success at whatever they choose to do in life.  To insure this success, our students and parents must be familiar with the four statewide graduation requirements established by the Washington State Board of Education.  The district has further defined these requirements.

Each student must successfully:
•    Complete a Culminating Project
•    Earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement by meeting state assessment requirements
•    Develop and regularly update a High School and Beyond Plan
•    Earn 23 credits

Culminating Project and High School and Beyond Plan
Using “Career Cruising”, a web-based portfolio system, each student will complete a Culminating Project which includes career research, post-secondary planning, and samples of best work from high school assignments or projects and/or extra-curricular activities.  Portfolios will be created during 8th grade and will be updated annually with final completion during  the senior year.  The student portfolio includes a detailed plan for meeting the high school graduation requirements and a plan for the year after graduation (High School and Beyond Plan). For more information about Culminating Project and High School and Beyond Plan requirements, click here or contact your high school.
