The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has introduced statewide Pathways to Graduation — expanded high school graduation requirements known as Act 158. This means that in addition to the 23.5 credits and service learning project previously required to graduate, high school students graduating from a Pennsylvania high school must meet additional requirements through one of five pathways designed to illustrate their college, career, and community readiness.
