  1. Just because people might be interested..... Also my mother is awesome! For high school graduation in the state of Colorado, only .5 of a credit is legally required to graduate, and it has to be in United States history and government (see Colorado Revised Statutes Title 22, Article 1, Section 104-3). I have more than fulfilled this requirement (see xxx High School transcript, .5 credit government, and homeschool transcript, 1 credit U. S. History). As the Colorado Revised Statutes continue on to say (Title 22, Article 2, Section 106-1(a) through 106(a.5), the board of the school district may decide any and all further graduation requirements, using guidelines established by the state (however, these are not legal requirements, these are guidelines). Since I was homeschooled, my mother consisted of the school board, as well as the administrator, principal, counselor, and teacher. She set my graduation requirements; these I fulfilled. They are also comparable to those of other districts in the area in which I live. We obeyed the law of my state of residence regarding homeschooling and graduation as set forth in the Colorado Revised Statutes; thus my high school graduation is clearly recognized by the laws of the state of Colorado. Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution states that “full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State,†which means that the state of Massachusetts legally has to honor my high school graduation. This should be enough to prove that the state of Massachusetts should not have any doubts as to the validity of my high school graduation, of which the homeschooling transcript I submitted was proof. Beyond this, I know of no law whatsoever regarding the state of Massachusetts requiring proof or verification of graduation from any homeschooler more than what we have already submitted. There is also no precedent, because colleges such as Harvard and MIT have not required it. If you think that there is such a law, please send it to me so that I may peruse it and take action. If you would like to call the Colorado State Department of Education to confirm what I have written regarding the laws of the state of Colorado in relation to graduation as well as homeschooling, their phone number is 303-866-6600. I am submitting this as verification that I have complied with all the laws of homeschooling and graduation in my state of Colorado, and that I have fulfilled all the graduation requirements of my homeschool.
