Former Walton County School District students who met all high school graduation requirements with the exception of passing the Georgia High School Graduation Tests, Georgia High School Writing Test or Basic Skills Tests, may petition the district board office to grant them a diploma. The diploma will be issued for the date which the student should have graduated from the respective high school. The student may also participate in commencement exercises at the high school.

 

The Georgia High School Graduation Test was a requirement for students in the class of 1995 through the class of 2014. The Basic Skills Test was a graduation requirement for the class of 1985 through the class of 1994.
