2 Credits of a Foreign Language (not necessarily for graduation but almost every university requires it)

Hopefully you’ve taken at least one (if not both) in beginning of high school years, if not, try taking one online to finish both credits before graduation.

1 Credit on Online Course 

If you are yet to have taken your online class see Mrs. Tanguay about signing up with FLVS.net and find a course that won’t take any longer than about 4-6 weeks to complete to it in time before graduation; (I’d suggest driver’s e.d. it takes only about 2-4 weeks to complete).

20 Hours Community Service 

If you haven’t completed 20 hours, ask clubs around the school or administration to help out with events and upcoming sports games to knock those 20 hours out of the park.

SAT/ACT College Ready Scores 

SAT: Reading- 440 Mathematics- 440 Writing- 440

ACT: Reading- 19 Mathematics- 19 Science- 19

Minimum GPA of 2.0 or Higher

Talk to your teachers about getting in some extra credit or being able to make up past work to get your GPA where it needs to be.

Passing FCAT Scores 

10th grade FCAT 2.0 Reading with a level 3/or a score of 245 or higher (or concordant SAT/ACT score) (SAT/ACT) that is concordant with passing scores on FCAT.

If you are yet to complete any of these requirements, make sure you see your guidance counselor ASAP. Graduation is right around the corner, and the semester will be over before you know it. Don’t waste any more time. Get moving Chiefs!
