High School Graduation Requirements
n order to prepare students for a rigorous post-secondary education, the Hawaii Technology Academy students will meet entrance requirements for Institutions of Higher Education by providing a course of study that aligns to the state’s academic standards and meets or exceeds state requirements.
Our students will work to complete the Board of Education (BOE) requirements for graduation. Students enrolled in HTA will carry a case load of courses that will be sufficient for them to graduate in four years. Students who enroll after the start of school or have special needs will work with their teacher to determine appropriate progress expectations for the school year.
