Measures
You will notice on the above classes that certain classes count as 1 or 2 measures. This has to do with the DAP graduation plan.

In order to graduate on the DAP plan, students must complete certain courses and earn at least four measures. A measure is actually a class that is taught at the college level and could earn that student college credit.

Any dual credit course counts as a measure if a student earns a B or better in the course. Each semester is a different class so that students that take their junior English dual credit have the opportunity to earn 2 measures.

Tech Prep courses also count as measures since they count as college credit.
