In its proposal, the Board revamps the current high school graduation requirements to bring it in line with a global 21st century economy. The curriculum calls for four years of math and English language arts, three years of science, three credits of social studies, two credits of a foreign language and one credit each of health/physical education and visual and performing arts.

But that hasn't always been the case in New Haven, where courses and graduation requirements have been as varied as the city's nine high schools.
