The senior option is a privilege for 12th grade students who are in good academic and disciplinary standing and have a good attendance record. Students who select and qualify for this option will be permitted to come to school after period 1 or leave at the conclusion of period 3, depending upon when they would be scheduled for this course. Students receive no credit for this course. Senior requirements/criteria are as follows:

• Successful completion of 20 credits by the end of their junior year

• Administrative approval following a review of student discipline and attendance records

Note: Registration for senior option and meeting the above requirements/criteria does not ensure admittance. Required classes may need to be scheduled during period 1 and period 4 that would prevent a student from scheduling senior option. A student's senior option can be “suspended” due to poor academic performance as well as failure to meet the Pennsylvania State ACT 158 requirement.
