Are you confused about the new Stadium High School graduation requirements that you must complete? Are you worried that you won't meet the requirements? Well, here are some helpful tips that can make things more clear, so you won't feel so lost anymore.
| Subject | Stadium HS minimum graduation requirements | Minimum requirements for public four-year colleges and universities | Recommended courses for highly selective colleges and universities |
| English | 4 credits* | 4 years | 4 years |
| Math | 2 credits | 3 years *** | 3-4 years*** |
| Science | 2 credits | 2 years | 3-4 years |
| Social Studies | 2.5 credits | 3 years | 3-4 years |

Another thing that you must do is to meet the standard of the WASL, in reading, writing, and math (ask your counselor for other ways to meet requirements in math).
The two last things that you must complete are your high school and beyond plan and your culminating project. Your high school and beyond plan is your career cruising portfolio. At least 90% of it must be completed by graduation. Your culminating project is a collection of a students best works. Your best works should demonstrate a students growth over time. Both of your career cruising and culminating project will be presented during your student-led conference and the end of the year.
