The Mellen High School serves approximately 70 students grades 9-12.  High School meet with the counselor on an as needed basis.  All students meet with the counselor to review schedules and progress toward graduation.  Juniors and their families have an individual conference with the counselor to discuss their post-graduation goals.

Graduation Requirements

Starting with the Class of 2019, graduation from Mellen High School requires completing a minimum of 26 credits. Students attend Mellen High School for a total of eight semesters unless an individual exception is made by the Board of Education. A unit of credit is granted for satisfactorily completing work both semesters in a course that meets for a full school year, or a two period block course that meets for one semester. The total of twenty-six credits must include the following:

  • Subject Area 1: English Language and Literature - 4 credits
  • Subject Area 2: Mathematics – 4 credits
  • Subject Area 3: Life and Physical Science – 3 credits
  • Subject Area 4: Social Sciences and History – 3 credits
  • Subject Area 8: Physical, Health, and Safety Education – 2 credits
  • Subject Area 12: Business and Marketing – 2 credits
  • Subject Areas (all others) – 8 credits which would meet Elective requirements

Total required credits – 26

Early College Credit Program

(formerly Youth Options and Course Options)

Both the Youth Options and Course Options programs are now being called the Early College Credit Program.  The Early College Credit program does have some differences from the former Youth Options Program.  The most notable difference is that 9-12 can take advantage of the program.  In addition to the grade level change, if a student is taking a course for college credit only the student/family is responsible for 25% of the cost.  I am linking the most recent memo from the DPI and I will update this page as more information becomes available.

View the State Aid for School Districts under the Early College Credit Program.

ECCP is open to grades 9 - 12.  The program allows students to take college classes through the University of Wisconsin System, Wisconsin private colleges and universities, or Wisconsin tribal colleges.  You will not have to pay for the class if the course is not comparable to one of our high school classes, qualifies for high school credit, you pass the class, and it is approved by the school board.

Here are the links for more information about ECCP and an application form:
