high school diploma

The Indiana Department of Education says it worked closely with school districts across the state to redesign its new high school graduation requirements.

State officials say the new diploma will give students the skills they need to succeed after high school.

Many educators spoke out against the first draft of new high school diplomas earlier this year because of their complexity and lack of rigor.

Indiana's new high school diploma would debut with the Class of 2029, although school districts can start as early as the 2025-26 school year.

The second diploma proposal from the Indiana Department of Education aligns more closely with the Core 40 than its predecessor. However, there are a few changes.
