• In 2015, the Arizona legislature passed the American Civics Act which requires students, beginning with the graduating class of 2017, to pass a civics test based on the United States Immigration and Naturalization civics questions.

    Students are required to score 70% or higher in order to graduate from high school or obtain a high school equivalency certificate.  Chandler Unified School District tests students in 11th grade through U.S. History classes.

    Juniors will be taking this September-November.  12th grade students that are new to Hamilton High School and still need to pass the exam will also take it in November.
