In order to receive a high school diploma in
Georgia, a student must complete the required number of units and pass the
mandated Georgia State Board of Education tests. Students who attend the
Mountain Education Center High School arrive at different levels in their
education; therefore, different sets of requirements apply. Students who
have been withdrawn from a public school for more than 12 months must meet
the graduation requirements for the graduating class in which they
re-enroll. Out-of-school students may elect to receive a Mountain Education
Center High School diploma or a diploma from one of the MECHS collaborative
high schools. Students electing to receive a MECHS diploma shall meet the
graduation requirements outlined below. Students electing to receive a
collaborative school diploma must complete the graduation requirements of
that school (this may be more Carnegie units than that required by the
MECHS). Click

requirements for enrolling in high school prior to the 2008-2009 school
year.
Out-of-school students who choose to receive a
MECHS diploma are allowed to graduate throughout the year after completing
graduation requirements. In the spring of each year, the MECHS conducts a
graduation ceremony for all students who have completed requirements during
that school year. This is a very meaningful ceremony for students and their
families, and all students are encouraged to participate.
