Here is the "Educational Planning Guide" for this coming school year (2015-2016). The graduation requirements are all there, it's pretty straightforward. The guidance office will give you one when you go to register at the school, but here's the link just for reference:

One thing that's kind of confusing for some people are the different options (Option I, Option II, and Honors/AP (formerly Option III)--you'll know when you look at the link). To clear things up...
-Option I is attended mostly by students who will not be going directly to a 4-year-college after graduation; typically, these courses do not require as much homework.
-Option II is a college prep course, taken by most students who plan to attend a 4-year-college.
-Honors and AP (Option III) classes are challenging courses taught at a faster pace; they may involve more homework.
*Keep in mind that these descriptions are very relative--the difficulty of each option is determined a lot by what school you came from and what specific class you're thinking of taking.
