PAHS students may apply to receive high school credits for alternative learning experiences that enable students to fulfill or exceed the expectations set forth in the Core Curriculum Content Standards.
Option II of the high school graduation requirements allows local school districts to design and or approve educational experiences that serve as an alternative to traditional instruction and provide meaningful learning experiences that support student achievement of the Core Curriculum Content Standards. Option II allows schools to provide enhanced education opportunities for all the students through the use of multiple and diverse paths.
Guidelines for PAHS Credit via Option II
It is the responsibility of the student to obtain permission PRIOR to beginning an Option II Course. Approval to take an Option II course may be granted up to 1 year prior to taking the course.
If the Option II Course is satisfying required graduation credit, the Option II Review Committee will perform and complete analysis to ensure that the Option II Course meets the state required Core Content Curriculum Standards.
