Question: Graduating From Homeschool?

I was in public school until this year, when I was pulled out to be homeschooled. I've taken online classes and all that, but I'm confused as to how I graduate.

Am I just done when I've finished the classes my parents had planned for me and took the tests? I've looked up requirements for NC homeschooled kids, but it just gave general ones for the public schools and said that it depends on the parents and what college the kid plans to go to.

Do my parents just say that I've graduated and get a diploma or is there more to it than that? I plan to go to Wake Tech, and their website said nothing about what classes I need to get in, so I don't think it matters. Do I still have to abide by the public schools graduation requirements? My parents want me to graduate this year and I haven't met all of the public school's requirements...

Is there a certain amount of classes I have to take? I know a lot of questions, but I'm pretty confused about the whole thing.

Answer: It's rare when home schools like online schools host graduation ceremonies. Most of the time, the school will mail you your High School Diploma.

My brother did Keystone (online) and they mailed him his diploma.
