Rule IKFA-R - Early Graduation Procedure

IKFA-R - EARLY GRADUATION PROCEDURE, ALTOONA HIGH SCHOOL

To be considered for early graduation, a student must complete the Request for Early Graduation form. In addition, students must submit a copy of their transcript(s), a letter stating the reason(s) for the request to graduate early, and a letter stating his/her post-graduation plans. Students must file the Request for Early Graduation and all the supplemental documentation with the high school principal no later than September 15th or February 15th of the semester they intend to graduate.

Upon receipt of the materials, the high school principal will schedule a meeting with the student, the student’s parent/guardian and the Early Graduation Team. The Early Graduation Team will consist of the high school principal, the high school guidance counselor and at least one high school staff member.

After the meeting, the high school principal will make a recommendation to the board. Following board action, a letter will be sent home stating the approval or denial of the request for early graduation.

Only one commencement ceremony will be held each year and those students graduating early will be able to participate in the year end graduation commencement. Early graduation will disqualify the student from any other high school opportunities.
