The curriculum at Tri Jr. Sr. High school contains a wide variety of various levels of academic challenge. Students will be rewarded for taking AP courses by a system of weighted grades. 

The following grading scale will be used for AP and Dual  Credit classes:

A+/A 4.333 A- 4.000 B+ 3.667 B 3.333

B- 3.000 C+ 2.667 C 2.333 C- 2.000

D+ 1.667 D 1.333 D- 1.000 F 0.000

South Henry School Board has adopted the following K-12 grading scale beginning with the 2011-12 school year:

A+ 99-100 A 93-98 A- 90-92

B+ 88-89 B 83-87 B- 80-82

C+ 78-79 C 73-77 C- 70-72

D+ 68-69 D 63-67 D- 60-62 F 0-59

A four-year program is the NORM for most high school students. It will be a distinct advantage for most students to accumulate as many high school credits as possible prior to graduation. However, the South Henry Board of Trustees recognizes the individual differences which exist among students and the need of a few to complete their high school program in a period of less than four years.

Below are given basic guidelines:

1. Establish a meeting date at least 30 calendar days prior to the end of the junior year with his/her parents or guardian to appear before a Review Board to show just cause for early graduation.

2. The Review Board shall consist of the Principal, Guidance Counselor, and three to five other staff members. The Review Board shall consider the case.
