EARLY GRADUATION
All students at Evansville High School enroll for 16 quarters of full-time course work unless provisions are made for early graduation. Students interested in graduating early must arrange to meet with a guidance counselor and their parents/guardians to develop a plan to complete requirements for graduation in less than 16 quarters. Also, the student must submit a written request for early graduation to a high school guidance counselor or the principal. Written requests must be submitted by the following deadlines:
- Students requesting to graduate early during their fourth year of high school must submit a written request to a guidance counselor or principal no later than the fifth day of the quarter in which they intend to graduate.
- Students requesting to graduate prior to their fourth year must submit a written request to the guidance counselor or principal one year prior to their anticipated date of graduation.
Students who graduate early are eligible for academic awards such as honors, high honors, salutatorian or valedictorian in the next regularly scheduled spring commencement ceremony following completion of the graduation requirements. Fees will not be pro-rated or refunded in the early graduation year because the cost of materials actually used by students is only minimally covered by the yearly materials fee.
Because students graduating early are no longer in regular attendance, their student status has ended. Students who have completed graduation requirements and are no longer attending may not participate in co-curricular or extra curricular activities. They will, however, be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony should they so desire.
