Graduation Plans Students have one graduation plan – Foundation High School Program (FHSP) – with an opportunity to earn endorsements and performance acknowledgments.

Part of the process is that students select an endorsement during 8th grade to start the process of course selection and creating a personal graduation plan. All students must choose an endorsement. That endorsement may change, but will require signatures from parents, student and counselor.

In Prosper ISD our students will be on the Distinguished Level of Achievement Plan. This will allow our students the best advantage in being prepared for college, career and workforce.

Distinguished Level of Achievement may be earned by completing the Foundation plan and one or more endorsements with the inclusion of Algebra II. This is the recommended plan for Prosper students.

Students may also earn performance acknowledgments in dual credit coursework; bilingualism/biliteracy; college AP; PSAT, SAT or ACT.

It is the policy of Prosper ISD not to discriminate on the basis of sex, handicap, race, color, or national origin in its educational and vocational programs, activities or employments as required by Title IX, Section 504, and Title VI. Prosper ISD will take steps to ensure that lack of English Language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in all educational and career and technical education programs.
