The Oregon Diploma is part of the public high school graduation requirements in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the end result of a redesign effort of Oregon's K-12 education system that focused on graduation requirements. The Oregon Diploma requirements were advocated for by Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction Susan Castillo and adopted by the Oregon State Board of Education in 2007. They will be fully implemented by 2014.
Famous quotes containing the words oregon and/or diploma:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
