Final Exam Exemption Requirements infographic for Clio High School. The graphic explains the requirements students must meet to be exempt from final exams. Students must have an 80% or higher in the class, 7 or fewer tardies, 7 or fewer absences, no major referrals, and meet required PSAT or SAT benchmark scores. Both excused (EX) and unexcused (UX) absences count, and tardies count as 1/6 of an absence. The infographic also explains subject-specific exemptions: Students who meet the Math PSAT/SAT benchmark may exempt from Math and Science final exams. Students who meet the EBRW (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing) benchmark may exempt from English and Social Studies final exams. A separate attendance requirement explains that students with 10 or more absences in a class must earn at least a 78% on the final exam in order to pass the class. The graphic includes Clio High School branding and school colors with organized sections and icons for academics, attendance, behavior, and testing benchmarks.

After 32 incredible years of shaping minds, building communities, and leading with heart, we invite you to come together as a community to celebrate a truly remarkable educator, Scott Williams.

From his early days in the classroom to serving as a principal, superintendent, and educational leader across multiple districts, Scott’s career has been defined by dedication, integrity, and a deep commitment to students and staff. Whether guiding schools through growth, leading district initiatives, or mentoring fellow educators, his impact has reached far beyond the walls of any one building.

This special event is more than a retirement party, it’s a chance for students, families, colleagues, and friends to gather, share memories, and celebrate the lasting legacy Scott has built across generations. His leadership, service on numerous committees and organizations, and passion for education have left a mark that will be felt for years to come.

Join us as we honor not just a career, but a lifetime of service to education and community. As he prepares to retire at the end of the school year, we look forward to celebrating all he has accomplished and the lasting impact he continues to make!
