Online High School Diploma Options Overview

The online high school diploma options are for those individuals who are seeking to earn their standard high school diploma and have already met several graduation requirements.

Adult High School

The Adult High School program has been established to provide instruction to those students that have withdrawn from high school but need to complete their high school diploma requirements. Students enrolled in this program will be required to meet the graduation requirements of the current year’s cohort of seniors currently enrolled in high school and as determined by the rules and regulations outlined by the Florida Department of Education. Upon completion of the program, students will earn a standard Pasco County Schools Adult High School diploma and have the option to participate in a Pasco County Schools adult education graduation ceremony.

Courses Offered

All Adult High School courses cover the same standards and carry the same weight as the respective courses offered in the traditional high school setting. The Adult High School students will be scheduled into online, self-directed, individualized, planned program of instruction designed to accelerate the student through core high school courses. The curriculum offered is approved by the State of Florida and designed to meet the needs of Pasco County Schools’ students, all courses are taught by certified teachers. Courses are available to the student 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Enrollment is ongoing throughout the school year.  Graduation assessments, End-of-Course exams, and minimum GPA requirements must also be met to qualify for a standard high school diploma. All graduation requirements are based on the current year cohort as described by the Florida Department of Education.
