Graduation Requirements
Did you know that students who attend MMA through 9th grade often enter high school with more graduation credits than students at the area traditional schools? Some of our graduating 9th graders have entered with 12 credits towards the required 27, whereas their peers from neighboring schools enter with 7 credits. This means that students that attend MMA for junior high have more time to complete Concurrent Enrollment (CE), Advanced Placement (AP) or work study before they graduate 12th grade!
We are able to do this because we offer the following electives for 9th graders in addition to their regularly required 9th grade courses.
- Business and Marketing
- Fit For Life
- Art II
- Biology
- Advanced Erdkinder (Natural Resource Science)
Our students learn as much as (or more than) they would at neighborhood schools as measured by the same standards!
The Biology offering is a fantastic gateway for students. Once this course has been completed students are free to move into the following science courses
- Biology: Agricultural Science and Technology
- AP Biology
- Medical Anatomy and Physiology
- Animal Science
- Medical Forensics

For Your Information
We’ll be taking 9th graders to Weber High for registration in February and if your student is not attending Weber High we’ll be in contact about how you can help them transition to their chosen high school.
As always, if you have questions about your child’s education don’t hesitate to reach out to the administration or a teacher.
