These changes have now been approved by the State Board of Education (SBOE) and we remain committed to ensuring our students are well-prepared for high school and beyond.
Following approval by SBOE, the rule must be reviewed by the Office of the Attorney General. The graduation requirements become law when signed by the Governor, which concludes the rulemaking process.

Students in need of college admissions testing--ACT and SAT dates are open. Though many colleges/universities continue with "test optional" admissions, students should read carefully the expectations for their colleges of interest, programs of interest, majors of interest and scholarship requirements.
We have 172 active local/state and national scholarships available to LC Seniors.
All college bound and trade students are invited to log into your NAVIANCE and search the scholarship tab for scholarships that match your interests, ethnicity, financial needs and grades. Please apply for as many as you can and check for updates weekly. All Lawrence Township local scholarships will be made available in December.
Students searching for scholarship dollars for college--and for some CAREER training--will want to create an account at GOING MERRY.com. The site is much like the Common App used for college admissions, collecting a lot of information about the student and then searching for scholarships which match the student account. It helps take scholarship search--which can feel very overwhelming--down to a more manageable task.
