  • Were you enrolled as a freshman at Crosby High School before 2011-2012 and did not graduate because you didn't pass TAKS or TAAS?  

    New Administrative Code rules effective May 3, 2018, implement SB 463 and establish a procedure to allow the school district in which an eligible student is enrolled or was last enrolled to determine whether the student qualifies to graduate and receive a high school diploma. A student who is eligible under the rules must meet the alternative requirements for graduation in the rules or local alternative requirements approved by the board that allow an individual to demonstrate proficiency in relevant content. The new rules apply with the 2017-2018 school year and expire on September 1, 2023.
