How to Get a Diploma in Indiana
You may remember last year reading about Indiana’s new Graduation Pathways. Graduation Pathways will be required starting with the class of 2023. Here are some things to know:
- Students in the classes of 2019-2022–requirements for graduation can be found on the Indiana Department of Education Website here.
- It is possible to work with BGHS to look at using the Graduation Pathways as an option for graduation prior to 2023.
- If your child falls into the class of 2023 and beyond–now is the time to start looking at these requirements as they are vastly different from previous graduation requirements. The short version of the Graduation Pathways can be found here, including what is required starting with the class of 2023 for graduation.
- While long and detailed, you can get an in-depth look at the Graduation Pathways here.
- PTSC has been hard at work since the Graduation Pathways were passed (and even before) to consider how we can offer even more opportunities for students. Watch for more information to come!
- Middle school parents–make sure to take advantage of opportunities to visit the Porter County Career Center to check out opportunities available to your child. These are wonderful programs that are part of our PTSC school day. We are looking at how we can expand our programming there and offer even more students the opportunity to participate in these programs.
PTSC Standouts:
The Boone Grove Wolves won their 6th sectional title in 8 years on a Saturday night. The team defeated Andrean by a score of 5 to 11, earning a repeat sectional championship. Congratulations to the team and Coach Sherwin! The Wolves will face the winner of the Bremen/LaVille Sectional Championship (being played 10/8) in the Argos Regional at 11:00 AM Central Time. Good luck to the team! (Taken from the Athletics Page)
