Students may soon choose from 2 instead of 4 diplomas as Indiana revamps high school

Indiana high school students may choose from two diplomas rather than four in the future as the state works to “reinvent” high school with an emphasis on work-based learning.

Leaders at the Indiana Department of Education Wednesday presented the Indiana State Board of Education with the first draft of the two new streamlined diplomas, dubbed the Indiana GPS (Graduates Prepared to Succeed) Diploma and Indiana GPS Diploma Plus.

Indiana’s current four diplomas – the general diploma, Core 40 diploma, Core 40 with academic honors, or Core 40 with technical honors – will stop being offered after 2028. The class of 2029 will be the first class to receive the new diplomas.
