I Did not receive my HS Diploma due to failed exams, Is there anyway for me to still get my HS Diploma?

Question

After becoming pregnant, I was transferred to a Pregnancy and Parenting School. I had attended up to the 12th grade. I even took summer classes to get all my credits. I was unable to get my HS Diploma because I failed required exam. Is there a way for me to retake the exams, or to get them voided.

Knowing that I completed the 12th grade and still did not get my HS diploma, makes it harder for me to just go and take the GED. I would rather get the HS Diploma, I feel I deserve.

Can anyone please help me? My mother keeps telling me that there should be a way for me to obtain my HS Diploma. Is this true?

Answer 1

Sure there is a way....talk to the school counselor and ask them what will be needed to obtain your diploma. It might just be a matter of retaking the test or you might have to take a semester of the needed credit. Either way it would well worth the effort.

Answer 2

It depends on the stste you live in.  Here in texas a student who does not pass required state exams but completes high school does not graduate untill exams are passed.  You could technicaly move to a state that does not have exit exams and tranfer you credit and graduate after a semester.

Here is an article on the topic in Texas.  http://lonestarschools.blogspot.com/2008...

You can also take your GED exams.
