A student will benefit from courses selected from a variety of electives including music, the arts, vocational courses, computers, foreign language, and additional training in the basics.
Boone Central High School accepts credits earned by a student from a high school approved or accredited by the Nebraska Department of Education or similar department of another state. While enrolled at Boone Central High School, a student may earn no more than thirty credit hours toward graduation requirements through correspondence courses. No more than fifteen of these thirty may be in one specific content area. Students who are placed in any special program by the administration may be allowed to deviate from this rule while in that assigned special program.
GRADUATION WITH HONORS
Recognition of the top ten percent(rounded up) of the graduating class will be made at commencement exercises.
GRADUATION PARTICIPATION
Seniors will be allowed to participate in commencement exercises if they would have been able to meet graduation requirements by successfully completing second semester classes. Commencement exercises will not be referred to as graduation exercises nor will the participants be referred to as graduates unless all participants have met the District requirements for graduation by the day of the ceremony.
HONORS CONVOCATION
An Honors Convocation will be held each spring to honor those students who have earned special awards and recognitions during the year. Each year the faculty selects one senior to receive the outstanding student award who has, in their judgment, contributed the most to the Boone Central School District.
