http://cahsee.cde.ca.gov
Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, all California public school students must take and pass the High School Exit Examination (CASHEE) to receive a high school diploma.

Students in grade 10 are required to take the exam.  Students will have opportunities each year
to retake part(s) of the exam not passed and will be offered special instruction as needed.
Students who do not pass one or both portions (math and English/language arts) of the
CAHSEE, but meet ALL other graduation requirements, will receive a “Certificate of
Completion” and be allowed to participate in the promotion ceremony.
