At Mile High Academy, we have specific graduation requirements to ensure that students are well-prepared for their future endeavors. If a student joins us after ninth grade, official transcripts from their previous school are required.

In some cases, we may ask students to take certain courses to fulfill our graduation requirements, even if they have taken similar courses elsewhere. Our admissions vice principal will determine which courses from previous schools satisfy our requirements.

Graduation is a milestone achieved at Mile High Academy. When students receive their diplomas, it signifies their successful completion of required credits and fulfillment of all graduation requirements. Only students who meet these standards or have received permission from the Academic Standards Committee are eligible to participate in graduation exercises.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Any student who enters Mile High Academy after grade nine must provide his or her official transcripts from the previous school. MHA reserves the right to have students take courses like those that may have been taken elsewhere if deemed necessary or desirable for fulfilling our requirements. The academic vice principal will determine which courses taken at previous schools will satisfy the MHA graduation requirements.

Graduation is a function of Mile High Academy. The conferring of diplomas by the academy signifies the successful completion of at least 220 credits and the fulfillment of all other graduation requirements. Only students who have achieved this standard or have been granted permission by the Academic Standards Committee may participate in graduation exercises.
