This High School Planning and Graduation Options outlines SVEC Graduation requirements and earning high school credit. This information is especially important if you have a student entering 8th or 9th grade and have not previously attended a "Welcome to HS Workshop".

At SVEC the term "Graduation" can mean a lot of different things to our families. The first thing that often comes to mind is the SVEC graduation ceremony. However, it's important to distinguish the difference of "Walking" in the ceremony from "Graduating" through SVEC.

Walking in the Graduation Ceremony: Per SVEC Parent Advisory, in order to “Walk” in the SVEC graduation ceremony students must meet 1 of the following 4 requirements. *Please note; walking does not always mean a student chose to meet all the requirements for an SVEC diploma.

Graduation Pathway

• Graduation Pathways/OSPI: All students must complete a Graduation Pathway.  Many students meet their Graduation Pathway by earning the SBA cut score (currently ELA 2548 / Math 2595), taken in 10th grade.   Students may also earn their Pathway by earning a score of 31 or higher on the ASVAB exam.  There are other ways as well, including taking a college level Math and/or English course in Running Start, participating in Sno-isle for 1 year.  Please visit OSPI’s page on Graduation Pathways for more information or talk to your school counselor.https://ospi.k12.wa.us/student-success/graduation/graduation-pathways
