An education will mean different things to different people. The means to that end is different for each student. There is variation in student needs and the way a diploma can be earned and any one student's path toward achieving that diploma becomes a personal matter. Kaukauna High School supports the concept that HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SHOULD LEARN AS MUCH AS THEY CAN ABOUT AS MANY THINGS AS THEY CAN BEFORE GRADUATING. To qualify for a diploma from Kaukauna High School students must complete the following requirements per school board policy 345.
