Typical Four-Year Plan

To receive a Bishop Stang High School diploma a student needs a total of 26.00 credits. These graduation requirements exceed the college preparatory course work recommended by the Admissions Standards of the Board of Regents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Although we offer four levels of courses, students are not tracked. Their aptitude, strengths, and weaknesses are considered in course placement by each of the Department Chairpersons.

Below is a suggested design of a four-year educational program charted for the convenience of the majority of the students at Bishop Stang High School. There is some flexibility in this course plan, while remaining faithful to credit requirements.
