Merancas Middle College @ CPCC

Dear Incoming Merancas Middle College Students,

Welcome! Congratulations on your acceptance into the middle college program. We are excited to have such a talented group of incoming students for the 2025-2026 school year. 

Merancas Middle College High School is a Cooperative Innovative High School located on the Merancas Campus of Central Piedmont Community College and is part of the Career and College Promise program. Merancas opened in the Fall of 2017 as the fourth middle college high school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, serving students in grades 11, 12, and 13.  Mercanas Middle College High School (MMCHS) is an honors program. It gives students the chance to earn college credit during their junior and senior years with an optional 13th year.  Students can earn an Associates Degree or two years of transfer college credits. While all students will take their remaining high school classes at this campus, they are allowed to take their college classes at any of the Central Piedmont Community College campuses. Classrooms are equipped with the latest technology and students have access to all CPCC libraries and privileges of any other CPCC student. All Central Piedmont Community College courses, books, and fees are free for our students. Merancas students are required to enroll in a minimum of four courses per semester, including high school and/or college courses.

To maintain eligibility for the middle college program, students are reminded that their unweighted GPAs must remain above 2.79. We are looking forward to working with you as you successfully navigate this next chapter of your academic career!

Thank you for choosing Merancas Middle College!
