Pennsylvania HB776 requires high school students to pass a civic knowledge assessment to graduate.

Pennsylvania HB776 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to mandate that starting in the 2028-2029 school year, high school students must correctly answer at least 60% of the questions on a civic knowledge assessment to graduate. Students with an individualized education program are exempt from this requirement. This applies to both public and private schools.
