Credits and Graduation Requirements Graduating
students must take a minimum of five and one-half credits and must earn
four credits plus their physical education credit in their final year of
school in order to participate in the graduation ceremony. Credit
totals will be followed closely in determining grade placement for each
student. Each student must obtain the minimum credits for promotion to the
next grade. Fourth year students who do not have the required 16 credits
will begin their fourth year with junior status. Students
should use the various resources available in the Guidance Department to
be sure they take the necessary subjects required by the post secondary
school or program they plan to attend. Advanced education requirements
vary widely. The most common college preparatory program requires four
years of English, three years of mathematics, social studies, science, and
a foreign language. In
order to graduate from East Hampton High School, a student must earn a
minimum of 22 credits, meet a credit distribution requirement, and meet
standards on the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT).
Specifically, a student must demonstrate satisfactorily the school’s
performance standards in literacy and comprehension, problem solving, and
