- To graduate from High School, a student must have met all of the requirements listed below:

- GRADUATION/PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS: (Salutatorian/Valedictorian selection)
- Rock Point Community School will award the top two graduates (according to final ranking) of the 8th and 12th grade classes. The student ranked one will be awarded the Valedictorian Award. The student ranked two will be awarded the Salutatorian Award. If only one student is ranked one, all students tied for the rank two will be awarded the Salutatorian Award. To be considered for these awards, the students must have been enrolled with the graduating class for more than two semesters. Students moving into the graduating class (by credit promotion, transfer, retention) that don't meet the requirements for this award will be awarded Honorary Salutatorian if they rank two (in which the third ranked student will be the regular Salutatorian if they meet the above requirements).
Note: No students will be allowed to participate in either 8th or 12th grade promotion and graduation ceremony unless they have met all graduation requirements for that grade as set by the Rock Point Community School Board. No Diploma will be issued until all requirements are met and fees paid.

8th GRADE GRADUATION: Eighth grade boys must wear their top shirt that they made and the girls must wear their skirts/dress that they made to participate in the 8th grade promotion ceremonial procession.
