service, paid all fines owed, returned all GHS property, met attendance policy requirements, etc.)
will NOT participate in Commencement.
Students who fulfill all requirements for graduation after May 28, 2010 (earn credits, provide documentation of 40 community service hours, pay all
fines owed, return all GHS property and meet attendance policy
requirements by attending make-up time, etc.) will graduate and receive their
diplomas but will NOT participate in Commencement.
Students who have been approved for early graduation have waived

attendance.
As graduation nears for the Class of 2010, the importance of
attendance in the learning process becomes more critical. Excessive
absences will ultimately result in the student’s failure to earn credit
for that class due to lack of class participation.
On your 9th absence during a given trimester, you will be required to earn
at least a C- on the final exam to have your grade calculated for that
trimester. (For example, if you were earning an A or a D in the class and
you get a C- or better on the exam, you will receive the letter grade of A
or D for that class.) If you do not earn a C- on the exam, you will
receive NO CREDIT (NC) in the class. Upon your 13th absence from a class
during a given trimester, you will not receive credit in it, and a NC will
be issued.
