MILLARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
APPLICATION FOR DIPLOMA PATH RECOGNITION
Millard Public Schools, a world-class district, facilitates student goal setting. High school students are able to indicate a diploma path to pursue during their high school years. In addition to the Regular Diploma, students are able to choose from two categories of diplomas, either the Liberal Arts path or the Specialty path.
The Liberal Arts path addresses the needs of students who plan to earn a degree after graduation from high school. The Specialty path focuses on those students who plan to specialize in a particular career field or for those seeking a degree in that particular career field. Both paths include incentive categories by which students are able to select a more rigorous diploma by taking more classes and achieving a higher Grade Point Average (GPA). Incentive categories are labeled “Commended” and “Distinguished.”
Specialty areas for this year include: Industrial Technology, Family and Consumer Science, Fine and Performing Arts, Health Occupations (MSHS & MWHS), Business and Technology. Please see the requirements for the diploma paths listed in your High School Curriculum Handbook or on your School Website to assist you with completing your application.
In an effort to recognize students who elect and are successful in meeting a Commended or Distinguished Diploma Path, you are asked to complete this application form (both sides) and submit to your school’s Guidance Office by the end of the third quarter/term.
