Grad Requirements

Choices Determine Options
Most of the high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand jobs available now and in the future require education and training beyond a high school diploma. Whether you intend to pursue an industry workforce credential from a community or technical college or a traditional four-year degree from a university, the choices you make in high school will determine your future options. To best prepare yourself now for the transition to postsecondary education and career entrance, choosing and taking the right classes is essential.

Distinguished Level of Achievement
The distinguished level of achievement requires:
• A total of four credits in math, including Algebra II;
• A total of four credits in science; and

A student must earn the distinguished level of achievement to be admitted to a Texas public university under the Top 10 percent automatic admission law.
