Graduation Requirements

Battle Mountain High School offers seven different diplomas. Those diplomas include: Standard Diploma; Advanced Diploma; Honors Diploma; College & Career Readiness, Career Endorsement Diploma; College & Career Readiness, College Endorsement Diploma; Alternate Diploma; and the Adjusted Diploma

A minimum graduation requirement of 23 credits has been established by the Lander County School District and Nevada State Department of Education to achieve at least the Standard Diploma. These requirements are to ensure a well-balanced educational program to meet the challenges of our current society. These requirements allow and encourage a wide range of electives to prepare the student for post high school work, training, and advanced studies. We encourage students to exceed these minimum requirements to prepare for greater educational and career success. 

In order to stay on track for graduation you need to meet the following minimum standards for credit attainment: 

  • Six (6) credits at the end of your 9th grade year.
  • Twelve (12) credits at the end of your 10th grade year.
