Your Missing Senior Credit

In 1987, the state of Iowa declared that in every school's graduation requirements, every senior must take at least one semester of an astronomy class as part of their history courses. Astronomy is an important class that works towards the furthering of young minds on the topic of space and what is beyond what we know to be true. Requiring this class also helps us provide a continuous number of generations to NASA as they continue to lose astronauts in space and continue to send more. It has since been discovered that North Scott High School has failed to meet this requirement for every graduating class since 2012. Every senior since the year 2012 will be required to take their course online or return to North Scott in the 2026 - 2027 school year in person with us. Or diplomas and current attendance at colleges all around the world will be taken away due to a lack of credits.  But what does this mean for our current graduating students?

Because we are so far into our semester and your counselors surely aren’t going to let you change or add a class to your schedule, you can take the class in the summer and attend our graduation in July, where you will finally get to walk the stage. Another option being we mail you your diploma after completion of your course. These options offer many benefits, including a second prom, a dinner after graduation, and you having no break in between the end of high school and the start of college!

For those of you with can't-miss summer break plans, failure to complete the summer course will result in your return next year with us to complete your senior year all over again. Wouldn't that just be great? 88% of current seniors have already shared they are excited to return, and most parents have already begun preparing to re-enroll. With the incoming seniors and the returning seniors, this will be the largest graduating class North Scott has ever seen!

We can’t wait to see you this summer or even next year! We hope you are as excited as we are.
