   How do I "Graduate" my high school children?
   There are different ways to graduate a home schooled student,
    but you as the parent are responsible for "graduating" your child. 

   Some Homeschoolers are considered graduated when they are able to pass the  
   ACT or SAT.
   or
   You can also be considered graduated when you pass the GED.

   Some curriculum offer ways to keep track of credits and transcripts.
   There are also may good books written on the subject of home schooling
a high  schooler.

  high schoolers and be able to hear their thoughts and ideas on graduating. Also 
  as a SACHSA member, your high schooler will be able to participate in
  SACHSA's  Graduation ceremonies.

  Are transcripts necessary to enter college?
  Some colleges don't require transcripts, but MOST do require them.  
  And most colleges like to have transcripts that look similar to the public school.

  Most Texas colleges and universities require the ACT or SAT.
  Most colleges will accept the GED along with the state required THEA.

  Your high schooler could be exempt from  the THEA. 
  You will have to research the college of your choice and see their requirements.
