Ohio’s Graduation Seals are a series of pathways offered by the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce to help high school students demonstrate readiness for college, careers, or the military. These seals recognize a range of accomplishments, including community service, citizenship, and STEM proficiency. By earning these seals, students showcase valuable skills and experiences that set them apart in their future pursuits.
4-H, a premier youth development organization, is dedicated to helping students meet these standards through hands-on learning and community involvement. Our programs align closely with the requirements of various Graduation Seals, empowering Ohio students to achieve academic, personal, and career success.
