This experience will focus on the K-12
education and showcase the skills and abilities that will be
expected of a successful post-secondary student, employee
and/or citizen.
Beginning with the Class of 2008, to
address the “Graduation by Proficiency” mandate set by the
Rhode Island Department of Education, all RI high schools
must meet the guidelines set by the new RI Diploma System.
This new Rhode Island Diploma System
applies to all RI public secondary schools and begins with
the Class of 2008. The “new” system addresses proficiency in
core content knowledge, applied learning skills and support
systems for all students. The implementation of this “new”
diploma system recognizes the need to insure that all RI
students successfully complete a rigorous high school
diploma program that gives them access to college or
post-secondary training, whether immediately following high
school or when and if they so choose.
EPHS has chosen to establish a “Graduation
Portfolio” and “Senior Project” as the two methods of
meeting and measuring each EPHS senior student’s proficiency
for graduation. Successfully completing a “Graduation
Portfolio” and a “Senior Project” are mandatory graduation
requirements.
