Activities include: career exploration, college tours, and important documents that will be required of them as adults.
If a student has already completed 4 full years of high school:

- All the same graduation requirements listed above except for Electives, which will have a requirement of only 2 credits.
Units required to be promoted at the end of the school year:
9th grade student (freshman) = fewer than 5 units

Edgenuity
In addition to in-person classroom learning, Grandview offers online credit recovery classes through our online program, Edgenuity. Edgenuity is available online 24/7, allowing students to earn credits on their own timeline each trimester. This opportunity increases credit earning beyond the 2.5 credits per semester if the student is motivated and willing to work hard in and outside of school.
