Graduation Requirements

 

Each graduating class has a specific set of requirements issued through the State of Washington in order to be eligible to earn a high school diploma. OSPI (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) provides a Graduation toolkit for each grad year to help navigate various requirements.  The toolkit includes:

​

• Key Testing Dates

• State Testing Requirements

• Minimum Credit Requirements

• Graduation Alternatives

​

As an alternative, students may consider other programs and options from this list of Graduation Resources.  Contact any of the institutions on this list for more information, or reach out to your CHS Counselor (see above).

​

Transcripts

 

To request a transcript (official or unofficial), complete the Transcript Request Form and click submit at the bottom of the page. Please allow up to 5 school days during busy times. The first six (6) transcripts are free of charge, and for everyone requested after six an additional $4.00 is charged. 

​

**It is important to note that parents/guardians can NOT request transcripts for students once they have graduated. 

​

For questions, please contact Sharla Hall, Registrar (425) 844-4808.

Cedarcrest students will have the opportunity to earn 1.0 elective credit when they complete their High School and Beyond Plan in Xello (formerly Career Cruising). To be eligible to earn this credit students must meet the following requirements: 

• The 1.0 credit is broken down into 0.25 credit per year, so if a student is only here 2 years, the most that could be earned would be 0.5 credit

• This is a supplementary 1.0 elective credit, not to be used in place of taking a full load (6 credits) of classes per year. 

• A completed High and Beyond Plan consists of writing post-high school goals (in the SMART format), a 4-year academic plan and 100% completion of assigned activities in Xello. 

• The activities include: uploading a recommendation worksheet and an up to date resume.

​

Students will work on their post-high school plans and build their 4-year plan during their freshmen conference, and will have a chance to revisit and revise throughout high school. Credit will be awarded June 1st of the student's senior year.

 

It is important to note that the activities will be evaluated for quality and completeness prior to awarding of the credit. If you have any questions, please contact your counselor.

Running Start  

 

​High school juniors and seniors may be eligible to participate in Washington State’s Running Start program, which allows students to enroll in courses at a Washington community or technical college and earn both high school and college credit. Students considering Running Start should understand that college courses move at a faster pace and require a high level of independence. Running Start students are expected to be self‑motivated, organized, and responsible for managing college coursework, schedules, transportation, and communication with college instructors and staff. Click the Community College links below for more Running Start information. If you and your guardians determine Running Start is a good fit for you, please follow the steps outlined below.
