Students graduating from Richarte HS do so with the state high school diploma meeting the recommended course requirements as set forth by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).  Richarte HS does not offer a GED program.
 
RHS serves students in grades 10 through 12. Teachers teach from the district adopted curriculum and use the same textbooks as other secondary campuses in GISD. The delivery of instruction, course syllabi, goal setting, and high level of student accountability allow students to move through requirements for each course with some flexibility; depending on the learning style and each individual’s rate of learning the content and concepts in each course. In other words, students may move more quickly in their academic areas of strength, yet take additional time needed in an academic area to ensure knowledge of the concepts necessary for success.
 
Students who attend RHS are considered at-risk for a myriad of factors including, but not limited to: credit deficiency, difficulty succeeding in a traditional school environment, illness, family issues, or teen parenthood. Richarte seeks to prevent students from dropping out of school as well as to recover those who have already left the school system.

A cap and gown graduation ceremony is held in May each year at the Performing Arts Center located at Georgetown High School.  Each graduating class has a valedictorian, salutatorian, and class rank.
