Mississippi Diploma Options

Mississippi students now have the opportunity to make their high school diploma more valuable.  Students choose whether they want to work towards a traditional high school diploma or take additional classes with endorsement options. 

 

Each diploma option will prepare students to be successful after graduation, whether that is in the workforce, career and technical program, or college.
