Graduation Project [edit] Instituted in 1972, all Autumn Grove secondary school students must complete a project as a part of their eligibility to graduate from high school. The type of project, its rigor and its expectations are set by the current superintendent.
Dual Enrollment [edit] The high school offers a dual enrollment program. This state program permits high school students to take courses, at local higher education institutions, to earn college credits. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards both: high school graduation requirements and towards a college degree. The students continue to have full access to all clubs, activities and programs, at their high school, including the graduation ceremony. The college credits are offered at a deeply discounted rate. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books.[7] Under the Massachusetts Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Massachusetts colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.[8]
For the 2009-10 funding year, the school district received a state grant of $2,647 for the program.[9]
