Graduation Requirements
Despite being a continuation school, the diploma received at Island High is just as good as one received at any traditional high school in California. This is because the graduation requirements at Island High are the same as any other California high school. A student needs 230 credits, a minimum GPA of 1.75, twenty hours of community service, complete a Senior Portfolio, and pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to graduate. The day a student successfully completes all graduation requirements is the day that they graduate. Given the many ways to earn credit at Island High, graduation can occur on any regular school day. Students that graduate midway through the school year are invited back in June to participate in a commencement ceremony.
