How to Earn High School Credits
Contact the local community office that primarily deals with education or night school courses.
Inquire about high school credit courses. The courses offered are often basic courses, including sciences, math, English and additional languages. Courses such as gym, art or other creative electives are often not included at night school.
Retrieve information regarding the courses available, the time slot, the prices and the requirements to enroll.
Attend each course as required and complete assignments. Once completed with acceptable grades, the credits will be recorded as being completed.

How to Graduate With Honors in High School (5 Steps)
Speak to your adviser about the requirements specific to your school. The general requirements for an honors diploma are relatively similar from state to state; however, some schools or districts elect to set standards that are even more rigorous than the ones set forth by their state department of education. To ensure that you are fully aware of all of the requirements, learn your school's specific requirements early in your school career. Either check your student handbook for specifics, or speak to your adviser one on one.
Take an English, science, math and social studies course every year. While you don't need four credits of math, science or social studies just to graduate, you do need four to qualify for an honors diploma as taking these four core courses yearly indicates your dedication to academics.
Take three years of a foreign language. Taking three years of a foreign language is also commonly necessary to gain admission into a college or university, so completing this academic challenge serves two purposes.
Earn the required grade point average. The specific grade point average required to earn an honors diploma varies from school to school, but in most cases students must earn roughly a 3.5. Check your handbook for specifics regarding grade point average requirements.
Achieve the required ACT or SAT score. Your school counselor can advise you as to the ACT or SAT score that you must obtain to earn an honors diploma. Just as with GPA, the cut off score needed for these standardized tests varies, but as a general rule students must earn around a 27 on the ACT or a 1300 in their SAT.
