505.6RCS - Early Graduation Regulation

Each student's request for early graduation will be given consideration on an individual basis with subsequent final disposition to be made by the Board of Directors, Central Springs Community School.  A student of the Central Springs Community High School may graduate at the end of the first semester of their senior year:

• All course requirements as stated in board policy have been met.
• A formal application is completed and presented to the high school principal and/or guidance counselor by the end of their first quarter of their senior year.  Exceptions may be made to students who transfer into the district after this deadline but only after thorough evaluation and recommendation by the high school principal.
• Application is signed by a student, parent, guidance counselor, high school principal and president of the Board of Directors, Central Springs Community School.
• The early graduate will be able to participate in the graduation ceremonies at the end of the school year, but will not be eligible for participation in extra-curricular or co-curricular activities once attendance has ceased, unless approved by an administrator.
• The early graduate must notify the high school principal and/or guidance counselor by the end of the first semester if they intend to participate in graduation exercises. 

All seniors, whether they complete requirements for graduation at the end of seven semesters or at the end of the regular school year will be ranked together in determining class rank.

Proof of graduation will be submitted in writing upon request by the high school principal to any institution of higher learning or prospective employer.

Students may be considered for early graduation by the principal and superintendent, if they ascertain circumstances beyond reasonable doubt that such a recommendation is definitely in the best interest of the individual student involved.
