What’s New for You?
Your Graduation Requirements• Due to the change of our daily schedule during your senior year, 2019 grads must earn 50 total credits in
grades 9-12 in order to graduate from Shakopee High School. This is an addition of 2 elective credits because you will have a chance to earn 16 credits during your senior year as compared to 14 now.
• In addition to earning credits to graduate, students must meet or exceed credits in each of the following subject areas (See table)
The school year is divided into two semesters. A successfully completed one-semester course will earn one semester credit. Courses concurrently enrolled with a college or university will earn one high school credit for every two college/university semester credits.
