The students must maintain a grade of 65 and above in order to pass any class at Proctor High.

It gives students a chance to take community college classes in high school and earn a college credits for them. Students must maintain a grade of 75 or above to be eligible to receive college credit for that class. Dual classes include government, economics, and statistics. ESL studentsThere is a large immigrant population around the area that adds a colorful demographic to the high school. Many ethnicities exist at Proctor. Over 40 languages are spoken in the school by students who immigrated from Thailand, Burma, Bosnia, Russia, Ukraine, and other regions. Since so many students are immigrants, Proctor offers classes with special instruction for them. Many English as a second or foreign language students are taught by teachers who are trained specifically to instruct those students on how they may understand the material better and improve their English. Some students have never spoken English before they came to Proctor High School. Graduation requirementsThere are three available diplomas a student can earn by graduation: a Regents Diploma Advanced Regents Diploma, or a Local Diploma A Regents Diploma can be earned by completing the core classes and passing the English, U.S. history, algebra, biology, and earth science regents courses, which are mandatory by New York State. An Advanced Regents Diploma is earned after taking and passing more than one regents examination given by NYS. For example, instead of only taking an algebra regents exam, a student must also take a trigonometry regents exam and pass it. Every graduate must earn 22 high school credits, which means completing 22 classes with a 65 or better grade. A Local Diploma, consists of the basic classes, which are required, without passing the regents exams. Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp (NJROTC)There is an NJROTC program in Proctor, which was founded in 2001. Over 300 students are part of the program which is considered a regiment of cadets. Cadets volunteer around the community and learn the importance of leadership. The cadets make trips to about three to five schools a year for regional drill meets where they compete with other JROTC schools in drill, academics, and athletics. Each year the program holds a "Military Birthday Bash", a military ball, and some traditional naval ceremonies like the "Change of Command Ceremony" and an awards ceremony. Notable alumni
Changes
RenovationsPhase 1 took place from June 2012 to Feb 2014 and consisted of renovation of auditorium, new windows throughout building, and masonry restoration. Phase 2 took place from June 2013 to Dec 2014 and consisted of a 56,000 square foot addition of Gymnasium, a two Story cafeteria, and two story kitchen. The work for the two phases was about $16 million,but did not include plumbing, heating or electric. Some difficulties of the renovations included, "[c]onnecting the old and new buildings together and what only made it worse was how we kept discovering asbestos every time we opened a wall because the building is so old. Also there were no existing drawings of the building, so there were a lot of change orders." There is school store on site. [8]References
