High School Diploma

In June of 2010, nearly 160 students "walked the stage" during the Adult Schools Graduation ceremony in the auditorium at the College of San Mateo. It is also an opportunity for students to formally receive scholarships awarded by a variety of families and organizations who have generously supported our students in their education.

Four sources of credit may be applied toward a high school diploma at the adult school:

If you attended High School out of district, or never attended at all, you will need to fulfill class of 2006 requirements.
