Graduation Requirements As a college preparatory high school with an emphasis on the arts, The Griffin School requires all students to take a rigorous course of study that includes Latin, fine arts, volunteer community service, SAT preparation, and a senior thesis project. Our basic required curriculum roughly parallels the "Recommended High School Program" as defined by the Texas Education Agency for public school graduation. Upper level coursework is offered and encouraged for students in various disciplines. In addition, eligible Griffin School upperclassmen are encouraged to take college-level coursework at the Austin Community College as a part of its free Early College Start Program to earn college credits while still in high school.
