A passing grade for graduation is a D- (however, we highly encourage aiming for a C- or higher for UC/CSU A-G eligibility, financial aid for post-secondary education, and in order to advance in high school Math, Science, and World Language courses).
World Language is not required for graduation, however it is required for UC/CSU A-G eligibility. World Language levels I, II, II/III-ICAP count towards elective credit. World Language levels III and higher meet the CTE/World Language area (i.e. Spanish III, IB Spanish, French III, IB French).
P.E. or PE-Dance class is required for all 9th graders. 9th grade Sequoia Sports credits count towards electives only. 10th-12th grade Sequoia Sports credits count towards the 2nd year of the P.E graduation requirement. Each season of a Sequoia Sport is worth 3.5 credits. Sports eligiblity regulations/rules apply. Athletes must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA. Please note that quarter & semester grades are factored into eligiblity.
