High School Credit

North Dakota ALA Flickertail Girls State citizens can earn 0.5 high school credit hours for attending and completing the ALA Girls State program. This is recognized by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Upon completion of the week, information will be sent to the participant’s school for administration by the school district. While the DPI has approved ND Girls State for 0.25 or 0.5 credit hours, actual application of credit is determined by the local school district and not at the discretion of the DPI or ND ALA Girls State.

High School Civics Exam

Any student who graduates from a North Dakota high school is required to take and pass a Civics Exam. This exam will be offered to North Dakota Girls State citizens. Citizens are not required to take the exam.  Upon passing the exam, information will be sent to the participant’s school for administration by the school district.  While DPI has allowed ND ALA Girls State to administer the exam, acceptance of the completed exam is determined by the local school district.
