    On March 30, 2015 Governor Deal signed into law H.B. 91 which eliminated the requirement for students to pass the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) in order to gain their high school diploma.

    • previously attended a Henry County high school and received a certificate of performance
    • received a Special Education Diploma and are only missing a passing GHSGT score in one or more subjects
     
    I am eligible.  How do I obtain my diploma?
