11th-Grade Assessments
Students participate in the ACT with writing, science assessment, and U.S. history assessment during Grade 11.
ICAP
Students complete and update an Individual Career and Academic Plan, including an annual career assessment, career goal, and related coursework.
Other State Requirements
Personal Financial Literacy, CPR/AED instruction, and passing the required U.S. naturalization test remain part of graduation readiness.
FAFSA & Experience
Students complete the FAFSA or a signed opt-out and participate in service learning or work-based learning at least once in Grades 9–12.

Open Core Checklist
Important for every graduating class
A state checklist is a planning tool—not a substitute for reviewing the student’s actual transcript, Mannford course approvals, and individual graduation progress.
- Review credits and graduation progress with the counselor each year.
- Complete required Grade 11 college- and career-readiness assessments.
- Complete ICAP activities and update future goals annually.
- Meet Personal Financial Literacy, CPR/AED, and citizenship-test requirements.
- Complete the FAFSA or submit the allowed opt-out documentation.
- Confirm that courses also meet college, scholarship, NCAA, technical-program, or military goals when applicable.
Unsure which requirement applies?
Contact the counselor before changing a schedule, choosing a curriculum option, or assuming that a course will satisfy a graduation, college-admission, or career-pathway requirement.
