Huntsville City Schools gives seniors graduation options

Students now have a choice about how their final grades will be determined.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala — The end of the school year is approaching and Huntsville City School administrators are giving seniors two options to be declared as graduates.

Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) State Superintendent Dr. Eric Mackey declared high school seniors who are on track to graduate and in good standing as “meeting the graduation requirements” for the state of Alabama.  

Huntsville City Schools seniors can either continue their work for the last nine weeks of the year to see what their final grade will be, or, if they have passing grades right now and are up-to-date in their classwork, they can choose to average their first semester with what they've done so far in the second semester.

That result would also qualify as their final grade.

Students are allowed to continue participating in any courses in which they wish to improve their grade.

However, the district says that students must complete all assignments through blended learning for any class in which they have an average grade below 60.

Students participating in any dual enrollment, dual credit, credit recovery or college course should continue to complete their assignments according to the procedures established by that school.
