Thompson Falls Public Schools will support the national, state, and local citizens in respect to high standards for student attendance and behavior. District Policy 2410.
Students shall be expected to earn a total of: twenty-two (22) credits (general diploma) or twenty-four (24) credits (college prep diploma) in order to complete graduation requirements.

Thompson Falls Public Schools will support the national, state, and local citizens in respect to high standards for student attendance and behavior. District Policy 2410.

Thompson Falls Public Schools will support the national, state, and local citizens in respect to high standards for student attendance and behavior. District Policy 2410.

Instruction in the U.S. Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance
Graduation Requirements
A graduation diploma represents not only successful completion of high school studies but also life-long work habits to include appropriate behavior and attendance. Poor attendance and inappropriate behavior can be reasons for expulsion and/or the denial of a diploma. The Board of Public Education through the Montana Accreditation Standards stresses these two qualities within their mandated content and performance standards. Thompson Falls Public Schools will support the national, state, and local citizens in respect to high standards for student attendance and behavior. District Policy 2410.
Students shall be expected to earn a total of: twenty-two (22) credits (general diploma) or twenty-four (24) credits (college prep diploma) in order to complete graduation requirements.
