Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT)
The GHSGT is a graduation requirement for all Georgia High School students. All students must pass the Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Writing portions of the test. Students not passing the GHSGT the first time will be given several opportunities to retest and pass prior to 12th grade graduation date. If a student does not pass by graduation time they will not receive a High School Diploma. They will receive a Certificate of Attendance/Performance until they pass the GHSGT. Students are allowed to take the GHSGT until they are able to pass. Once the test is passed the student will receive their High School Diploma.
