| Abstract: | In a bid to make high school fruitful and engaging for every student, the Indiana State Board of Education in December 2024 approved a single new diploma that will be effective for all seniors in the 2028-29 school year. The diploma doubles elective credits to 12 to allow more flexibility for students to tailor their learning to their goals. They also may opt to earn honors or honors-plus seals in three postsecondary pathways: enrollment, employment, and enlistment and service. Students complete additional requirements such as credential attainments and hours of work-based learning to earn the seals.
