Diploma/GED/Graduation Requirements

In January of 2007, the Oregon State Board of Education voted to adopt new high school graduation requirements. These new requirements are designed to better prepare each student for success in college, work, and citizenship. To earn an Oregon diploma, students will need to successfully complete the credit requirements, demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skills, and meet the personalized learning requirements. Students will also have the option to earn credit for proficiency. A phase-in schedule (2007–2014) was created to allow students, families, schools and teachers to adequately prepare to meet these new requirements.

GED Option Program

For students that find themselves in a position where their path to high school completion would be best created through the GED program, we continue to offer a GED test preparation program. To begin, students are given basic information about the GED tests, and are pretested to find their areas of the most need. With the help of staff from PSD and BMCC, they practice the skills need to successfully pass the GED exam. This is a half-day morning program that operates during the normal school calendar.

What do you need to start the program?

  1. Set up a pre screening test to see if you qualify to enter the GED program.
  2. Have a valid government issued ID.
  3. Sign the necessary paperwork.
  4. Length of time to complete the program is on an individual bases.
