Meaningful High School Diploma Project

The State Board of Education (SBE) is revising high school graduation requirements to better prepare students for life after high school - in gainful employment, postsecondary education and citizenship. The Meaningful High School Diploma Work Session will work with a group of advisors and policy makers to reach out to the public as it reviews current high school graduation requirements.

The SBE will examine graduation requirements, approaches used in other states, national frameworks, as well as, develop an understanding of what the knowledge and skills are that students need to succeed in work and college in the 21st century.
