    Project Graduation (PG) is a non-traditional academic program designed to meet the educational, behavioral, and social needs of students. PG offers credit recovery and accelerated graduation by allowing all Memphis Shelby County Schools, affiliate charter, private, and municipal school districts’ students grades nine (9) through twelve (12) an opportunity to earn core content and elective credits in the evenings from 4:00 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. and 5:45 P.M. to 7:15 P.M.
