Graduation Requirements
Students must earn 22 credits (16 required and 6 electives) in order to graduate from a Mesa high school.
Transfer students must be enrolled in classes that place them on track for graduation and be enrolled through the semester of graduation. These students must have earned at least five (5) credits in an MPS high school to be eligible for an MPS diploma unless they transfer in the final semester of their high school experience. Students who transfer during the final semester of their senior year must earn three (3) credits to be eligible for a Mesa diploma. Students must check with the school counselor or the registrar for specific details.
Students must also pass the Civics Test in order to graduate.
