BOARD OF EDUCATION ENCOURAGES CLASS OF 2009
TO PREPARE FOR GRADUATION BY PASSING HSAs
TO PREPARE FOR GRADUATION BY PASSING HSAs
The Prince George’s County Board of Education wants to ensure that students in the Class of 2009 receive their diplomas this spring, and is sending the message that the way to do it is to “SIT…PASS…WALK: If you do not SIT and PASS the HSAs, you do not WALK at graduation.”
“Students and families need to be aware that the state mandates all high school seniors to pass HSAs in order to graduate this year,” said Board Chair Verjeana M. Jacobs, Esq. “We ask all members of the community to help us get the message out to students and parents about the HSA requirement and let them know what they need to do to ensure graduation in June.” Students must complete all four High School Assessments (HSA) in Algebra, Biology, English, and Government with a combined score of 1,602 in order to graduate. If students do not pass a test after taking it twice, they can work on a Bridge Plan project to meet the requirement.
