High School Bill SigningTo ensure Michigan's students
have the skills and knowledge needed for the jobs of the 21st Century

on April 20, 2006, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm signed into law
a rigorous new set of statewide graduation requirements that are
among the best in the nation. (Public Acts 123 & 124)
This law is a result of an extraordinary partnership between the
Executive Branch, State Board of Education, Superintendent of Public
