To qualify for a High School Diploma, students are required to obtain a minimum of 100 credits.   These credits include the following:

·         15 credits in English (including English 30-1 or 30-2)
·         15 credits in Social Studies (including Social Studies 30-1 or 30-2)
·         10 credits in Math (including Pure Math 20 or Applied Math 20, or Math 24)
·         10 credits in Science (including Science 20, 24, Biology 20, Chemistry 20 or Physics 20)
·         3 credits in Physical Education
·         3 credits in CALM 20
·         10 credits from CTS, Fine Arts or Second Languages
·         10 credits in any 30-level courses in addition to English and Social Studies 

The above requirements are minimal, and we recommend that students take a variety of courses to explore various opportunities.  The more credits students earn the stronger their high school transcript appears, therefore we  encourage students to graduate with at least 110 credits.

Curriculum changes from the Department of Education will be requiring greater knowledge and skill levels in communications technology.  Accordingly, we encourage students to take basic information processing and keyboarding courses.  Keyboarding and electronic research skills are needed for core subjects in high school.  

The staff at WCCHS has set the following standards for students registering in Grade 10 courses:

Grade 10’s and 11’s are not allowed to have spares; grade 12’s must carry an average of 15 credits per semester unless they are returning grade 12s.
