High school graduation requirements vary by state but generally include completing a specific number of credits in core subjects. Students typically need to earn credits in subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, along with electives and physical education. In addition to credit requirements, many states also mandate passing standardized tests or assessments. Some schools may require students to complete a senior project or community service hours to demonstrate their readiness for life after high school. Meeting these requirements ensures that students are prepared for either college or entering the workforce.
