| | Barnwell High School holds its annual graduation | |
| |ceremony at the end of spring semester. Students who have | |
| |completed all graduation requirements prior to spring semester of | |
| |their senior year may elect to exit high school; however, diplomas| |
| |are issued only during and after the Barnwell High School annual | |
| |graduation ceremony. In order to participate in the district's | |
| |graduation exercises, a student must have earned a State High | |
| |School Diploma, a district Employability Credential Certificate, | |
| |or a district Certificate of Attendance. | |
| |Students who plan to graduate at the end of first semester must | |
| |notify the Guidance Department in writing prior to the end of 1st | |
| |quarter. Students who have elected to exit high school at the | |
| |close of winter semester but are eligible for receipt of a State | |
| |High School Diploma or a district Employability Credential | |
| |Certificate may return to participate in the annual Barnwell High | |
| |School graduation ceremony, so long as they have provided a | |
| |written request to the principal on or before April 1st of the | |
| |year in which all graduation requirements have been completed. | |
| |Students living within the school district who are not enrolled in| |
| |the school district and are associated with another school entity | |
| |will only be considered for graduation under the following | |
| |conditions: | |
| |
| | | | | |
| | | |
| | |. The other school entity does not have a | | |
| | |graduation ceremony. | | |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | |. A written request to the principal is completed on or before | | |
| | |April 1st of the year in which all graduation requirements have | | |
| | |been completed. | | |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | | The principal of Barnwell High School has the discretion to | | |
| | |prohibit a student from participating in the annual graduation | | |
| | |ceremony if the otherwise eligible student has engaged in recent | | |
| | |serious misconduct on or off school grounds, the otherwise | | |
| | |eligible student has unpaid monetary debt owed to the district, | | |
| | |the otherwise eligible student fails to participate in graduation | | |
| | |practice without making prior arrangements with the principal, | | |
| | |and/or the principal determines that it would not be in the best | | |
| | |interests of the otherwise eligible student or other graduating | | |
| | |seniors for the student to participate in graduation exercises. | | |
| | |The principal's decision is final. | | |
| | |*Please note: Students who graduate mid-year are not able to use | | |
| | |rank as an eligibility criterion for the LIFE and Palmetto Fellows| | |
| | |Scholarship. | | |
| | | | | |
| | |SENIOR DISMISSALS | | |
| | | | | |
| | |In order to have a senior dismissal period, students must have a | | |
| | |documented job. With a job, seniors will still be required to take| | |
| | |at least 3 classes per semester. Unless there is a scheduling | | |
| | |conflict, senior dismissals will only be at the beginning or end | | |
| | |of the school day. | | |
