Important Graduation Requirement Update - House Bill 1105
We wanted to share a quick update regarding House Bill 1105: this new law eliminates the “certificate of completion” option that was previously available for students who earned credits but had not yet met all state assessment or GPA requirements.
Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, only students who meet all Florida graduation requirements will be awarded a standard high school diploma—and only those students will be eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony.
If you have any questions about your student’s progress or need support with meeting outstanding requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact your school counseling team. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
