  • Earn high school credit
  • Pass state tests or approved alternatives to those tests
  • Complete a High School and Beyond Plan
  • Meet Washington State History requirement

 
The Washington State Board of Education establishes minimum credit requirements, state tests, and the High School and Beyond Plan.
