How Do I Earn My High School Diploma?

March 19, 2013 by official

It may not always seem like it, but purpose of high school is to gain an education.

It’s about gaining the skills and knowledge that everyone should have in their adult life.  And the way to prove you have that education is with a high school diploma.

A high school diploma is an official document that proves to colleges, employers, and everyone else that you are educated.  In order to get into any sort of college, you need a high school diploma (or a GED certificate).

Many jobs will also require at least a high school diploma.

So How Do I Get One?

The answer is simple: you pass high school.

By completing the required courses and earning passing grades, you earn your high school diploma.

What if I Didn’t Finish High School?

You can still earn a high school diploma even if you dropped out of high school.  Actual high schools have an age limit that varies from school to school.

Once you reach your 20’s, you’ll have to look elsewhere to earn your diploma.  There are a few options.  Community colleges often offer high school completion classes.

Or you could always earn your high school diploma online.  Online high schools don’t have the age limits that physical high schools do.  Online high schools also typically offer a wider variety of class options, and you can take classes from wherever at whatever time you want.

The important thing to remember when choosing an online school is to make sure it is accredited.  Accreditation is what gives a diploma its value in the first place.  A high school diploma from a non-accredited school is about as useful as a blank sheet of paper.

What About a GED?

An alternative to earning a diploma earning a GED certificate.  For more information on how GED testing works, visit this post here.

Excel High School is a great school! My daughter was in another online highs school last year, but she was not challenged and was not being prepared for college.

Since starting this year at Excel, she is being fully challenged in honors courses. My daughter told me the other day, "mom, I have never had to work so hard in school". We love you Excel High School and Anna will be with you until she graduates next year.
