New Completion Program
The Texas First Early High School Completion Program is a unique opportunity for students to earn their diploma with a distinguished level of achievement in a shorter time frame than traditional high school programs. This program allows students to accelerate their education and enter the workforce or continue their education faster than their peers.
By completing this program, students demonstrate high academic achievement and dedication to their education. They are also eligible for a 1-2 semester scholarship, which can provide financial assistance for their post-secondary education.
TEA has created the Graduation Toolkit to help students and families better understand the state's graduation requirements!


Note: Some school districts have additional graduation requirements that differ from what's in the toolkit. You will be able to find your school district's specifics in their course guide.
