River Valley High School students may graduate in fewer than eight semesters at the end of any semester by completing the minimum graduation requirements as described in Board policy.
All requests for early graduation shall be submitted to the student's guidance counselor no later than the end of the first grading period for graduation in January. Applicants for early graduation in the spring should file no later than the end of the third grading period. Midterm graduates may participate in the end-of-year graduation ceremonies.
Students graduating early will not be eligible candidates for valedictorian or salutatorian status nor will they be eligible to receive the academic excellence scholarship. Students electing to graduate early will be eligible for scholarships and awards unless otherwise indicated by the grantor of the award or scholarship. Students will be advised of this at the time they submit requests for early graduation.
