Graduation Requirements


Elizabeth Seton High School requires students to complete successfully a minimum of 24 credits in order to graduate.  During each academic year, students must carry 6.5 or 7 credits.  All courses are college-preparatory.  Placement into appropriate level courses is made through a coordinated effort that involves the student, her parents, her guidance counselor, and her teacher(s).  Incoming freshmen are given placement testing that is used in conjunction with the student's middle school performance profile to ensure appropriate course placement.  The following table details the school's minimum graduation requirements for each department:

During their time at Seton, students will complete a minimum of 20 hours of service each year.  At least 10 of these annual hours must be given in service to the disadvantaged.  Opportunities for giving service are provided through Seton's Campus Ministry Office.
