Project Graduation
Project Graduation is a credit recovery program delivered online for students in Rochester Community Schools. The program is designed to assist students in recovering credits in courses for graduation. The goal of this program is to accommodate students who have attempted but not successfully completed a course in the traditional learning environment; however, he/she is committed to completing the academic requirements for graduation. Counselors will work with students, parents and administration to evaluate the proper placement of students in this program. Classes from more than one building may be combined to ensure the availability of the class being offered. The program is a computer-based, online learning system that provides students with another medium for achieving academic credit. The online system allows students to work at their own pace in completing necessary academic courses.
