Regents diploma offered in
2006-07
Regents
Scholar Diplomas will be offered again in 2006-07. The program,
which is a partnership between the Department of Education and
Board of Regents, recognizes graduating high school seniors who
have demonstrated academic excellence.
Students must meet minimum academic requirements to be eligible
for the Regents Scholar Diploma. High school administrators –
usually a counselor or principal – are responsible for
requesting the special certificates for those students who
qualify. School districts often chose to present the
certificates during graduation ceremonies.
Requirements for the Regents Scholar Diploma can be found online
at
www.doe.sd.gov/secretary/regents.asp. You also will find
instructions on how to submit names for this designation. Please
note that the deadline to submit names for certificates to be
presented in May 2007 is April 1, 2007.
The Regents Scholar Diploma should not be confused with the
South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship, which awards scholarship
dollars to qualifying high school graduates.
