Students are required to complete the prescribed four-year course of study including a minimum of twenty-four units. Although twenty-four units are the minimum requirement, it is strongly recommended that students take a full load for eight semesters, especially those students that are college bound.

U.S. and Missouri Constitution Tests - Students must pass the U.S. Constitution test and the Missouri Constitution test in order to graduate.
