It was just weeks ago that a high school south of Waco abruptly postponed its graduation, saying only a handful of seniors met requirements to get their diploma. Now, because of the seniors' hard work, all of them will graduate later this month. | via NPR
Marlin High School is now ready to hold its graduation, after members of its senior class worked to fulfill requirements for a diploma.
"We are excited to report that as of Thursday June 8, 38 out of 38 seniors have met all requirements for graduation as outlined by the Texas Education Agency," Marlin ISD Superintendent Darryl Henson told NPR. ."I have a sheer obligation of ensuring completion. It's not about trying to celebrate before we finish. Let's cross the finish line and then we can all celebrate together."
The good news is a turnaround from last month, when a school district audit found that only five seniors had met the requirements to get a diploma. Many students and their families said they were surprised to learn they had fallen short of the state's 90% attendance mandate or failed to complete courses, while others missed tests and assessments.held in the school's auditorium.
