Durant teachers follow the
Waterford School District and Michigan Merit Curriculum which
includes the Waterford School District final course
assessments. Students must take the Michigan Merit Exam (MME)
to meet Waterford School District graduation requirements.
Durant students are encouraged to attend the Oakland Technical
Center (OTC) to earn elective credits.
One half credit is earned
when a student passes a course with a grade of 70% (C) or
higher. Student progress is evaluated weekly. Students who are
not earning a C or better in all classes, or are missing
assignments, are required to attend Seminar sessions on
Friday. Parent Teacher Conferences are held four times a year.
