High School Diploma Not Required?

The ironic thing is that my son HAS met all of the graduation requirements for our state and then some as he has many many high school credits and started accumulating them in 6th grade. He could have gone to college early, but elected instead to go to this gifted high school and loves it.

Our local school administration would indeed let him receive a diploma locally, in fact, he could have done that last year already. My son wants a hs diploma from his current school and I guess since he’s worked so hard I can see why. ALthough my husband and I are open-minded to us printing off a homeschool diploma from the printer. Our state would allow this and I could certainly show any college his great transcript.

Son has been given the choice by the current high school of taking an independent college course, a college course in fall, etc. They listed several things and I’m thankful for that. It’s simply a shame it had to happen. So yes, Strick11 check that high school transcript carefully!

Thanks again for the great postings.
