On Track To Graduate? It is important for Grade 9 through 12 students and
families to be aware of graduation requirements. It is a great time to take a
close look at where you are at in relation to high school course planning and
plans for life after high school. It is important to be aware of interests, skills,
future goals, etc. in addition to becoming familiar with current Saskatchewan
Graduation requirements and pre-requisite learning if planning to pursue post-
secondary studies. Below is information for Saskatchewan Graduation (Regular Program):
Saskatchewan High School Credit Options Document
Planning for high school courses begins early. By Grade 9, students need to be
seriously thinking about their choices. When mapping out high school courses, students must
consider post-secondary interests and requirements and how they may impact choices while in
high school. The Math and Science Pathways are worth investigating when planning forward.
