US EditionMississippi Drops U.S. History Statewide Assessment
- On June 19, 2025, Mississippi officials decided to remove the statewide U.S. History exam from the list of graduation requirements.
- This decision came after a recommendation in April 2025 to remove the U.S. History graduation exam.
- The assessment will no longer be administered starting in the 2025-26 school year, but students must still successfully complete and pass the U.S. History course to graduate.
- Dr. Lance Evans, state superintendent, stated that reducing the number of state exams needed for graduation is expected to ease the burden on teachers, students, and their families.
- Consequently, passing state assessments in key subjects such as math, life science, and language arts will still be required for graduation, while the U.S. History exam will be discontinued.
