FINAL EXAMS

2023 SEMESTER II FINAL EXAMS-Highland High School-Semester II Exam Policy

  • Semester II FINAL EXAMS are tentatively scheduled for Monday, May 22, Tuesday, May 23 and Wednesday, May 24. See EXAM SCHEDULE for SEMESTER II

  • Thursday, May 25 is a MAKE UP EXAM DAY from 7:40-11:00am

  • DATES will be adjusted for SNOW DAYS, so please do not plan vacations under after the school year concludes.

  • During semester II, we would like to reward students for their hard work, their good attendance, and their positive character. We have created some guidelines and, if you meet each of these, you have the opportunity to earn exemption from one, two, or maybe even all of your exams. Use this checklist to see if you are exempt:

    • I have missed six or fewer days of this class period

    • Each of my absences is excused

    • I have earned a “C” or higher for each quarter

    • I have no more than one ISS this semester and no OSS

    • I have not violated the Academic Integrity Policy

    * Some classes, such as semester, dual credit, and AP, may require a semester exam.  

    * If you are exempt from a final, then each quarter will account for 50% of your grade.

  • Students needing to change exam dates must complete a FINAL EXAM CHANGE FORM by Friday, May 12 for approval. These are for emergency situations as vacations should wait until after the school year is completed.
