James Madison High School 2022 Catalog, Third Edition Copyright 2022 James Madison High School. All rights reserved. No part of this catalog and/or materials may be reproduced in any form

or by any means without written permission.

Purpose: The Catalog is the official document for all academic policies, practices, and program requirements. The general academic policies and policies govern the academic standards and accreditation requirements to maintain

matriculated status and to qualify for a diploma. James Madison High School has adopted a `grandfather clause' policy such that students may complete their academic programs under the program requirements that existed at the time of their enrollment to the extent that curriculum offerings make that possible. If program changes are made that effect student programs of study,

every effort will be made to transition students into a new program of study that meets new graduation requirements. Students proceeding under revised academic policies must comply with all requirements under the changed program.

Reservation of Rights: James Madison High reserves the right to make changes to the provisions of this catalog and its rules and procedures at any time, with or without notice, subject to licensing requirements. This catalog is

not a contract but merely a general outline of the programs being operated presently by the school. Certain policies may be grandfathered in at the time of enrollment and other revised policies may supersede prior policies.
