A Diploma Will Earn You More Money! (But money alone won't get you a diploma!)

Submitted by administrator on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 7:33am

A high school diploma is the minimum requirement for many jobs. A 21-year-old homeschooled woman came to a NARHS workshop in Massachusetts in 2004 and announced she was a junior at the University of Massachusetts. She had a 3.5 GPA, but could not get a job as a bank teller because their banking regulations REQUIRE a high school diploma. Her two years of excellent college work was NOT an acceptable substitute, she needed a diploma. Fair? No. But it is the rule. When the banking regulators made the rules about the minimum qualifications, they gave no consideration to exceptions or to homeschoolers. So, either you get your diploma, or you will not be considered for some jobs. Simple as that. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics prove that high school graduates earn an average of $7,000 more per year than individuals without a diploma. Estimating a 25-year-old who works full-time for 40 years calculates that having a high school diploma could mean as much as $280,000. in additional pay over the course of your lifetime. The North Atlantic Regional High School will accept all of the credits earned from other institutions at face value. If another high school has awarded credit for your work there, we are happy to transfer it into NARHS. We apply previously earned credits toward the graduation requirements here. If you have sufficient evidence of previous homeschool work, then we can convert that into actual high school credits. And, when you have all of the credits our school requires, then you will be awarded a real high school diploma from a real school -- a fully accredited, state-authorized private school. Yes, it costs money. We are a private school -- no government funds come to us -- so everyone pays their own way. But, no matter how much money you offer us, NO DIPLOMA WILL BE AWARDED IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE CREDITS!!! This is not about money, this is about your qualifications. Do you qualify for a diploma from Maine? It is as simple as A B C. A. High school students own their credits. The credits belong to the student. B. Students can transfer their credits to any school they wish. C. If the student wants to transfer credits to our high school in Maine, he or she can qualify for a Maine diploma. We require 17 1/2 credits. Don’t let the lack of a high school diploma reduce your income for the rest of your life. You did the work, you earned the credits. You own the credits, now you’ll get your diploma!
