Graduation marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. Ohio’s graduation requirements are designed to ensure that students are prepared for success after high school. Multiple pathways are available for earning a diploma, giving students opportunities to gain experiences that prepare them for college, careers, or military service. Schools will partner with students to plan pathways that align with their goals while meeting state graduation expectations.

Also, to better understand what students go on to do after high school, the Ohio Department of Education is developing a new exiting student follow-up data collection.
