Graduation Requiremnts

To graduate from the Philomath High School, a student has to complete a senior project. Before 2007, this was a requirement only required by PHS; but after that date it became an Oregon law to meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. Because of this change, the Philomath High senior project has been modified to include the new standards; a small sheet which requires a student to fill out a small description of how they have met certain requirements that are deemed important for a post-high school career.
