32 credit points, 4 sgo cards, and 50 community service are required to pass bths as in not be held back or is it just an added honorary thing? Also, does technical drawing (soph) give art credit? (because currently I only have 1 art credit since i failed ddp 2nd semester.) One credit in ddp will let me pass bths?

32hours + 50hours is just so that you can get the TECH diploma. Its not mandatory for you to graduate with a tech diploma but why not? Clubs are fun.

Hmm, I was wondering about the art credit too. Do we HAVE to take a music or some sort of drawing class if there is any to graduate with a regular high school diploma. So far, I have no art credits.

DDP suffices for art.

Hmm, I guess so. But, according to ARIS, DDP counts as "Other". For me at least.

All the qualifications above are for the tech diploma. As long as you pass your classes you should get a regular HS diploma.
I'm not sure about the second semester of DDP though, since it's the seconds semester that people look at, but I dont think DDP holds much significance towards getting a NY State HS diploma.
you should try talking to your guidance counselor about this, they'll offer better info and have a way of helping you if there is a problem.
