IB Program
IB is open to any motivated 11th and 12th grade student at Lee County High School.
Students at LCHS have the option of taking the full diploma track or as many IB courses as they would like under the course selection track.
To be considered full diploma, students must take a course from each of the six subject groups. However, students may be able to double up in one subject group in place of Art.

Get college credit for high school classes! AP classes are most often taken during your Junior or Senior year, but some can be taken when you are a Sophomore.
Most colleges will accept a "4" or "5" on an AP Exam as college credit (some accept 3).
Dual Enrollment @ CCCC
High school Juniors and Seniors can earn college credit free by enrolling in either the College Transfer Pathway or the Career Technical Education Pathway. These courses also count as high school courses. The College Transfer Pathway leads to completion of the general education requirements (first year) of a baccalaureate degree.
To be eligible, a student must be a junior or a senior, have a 2.8 unweighted grade point average and demonstrate they are college ready by taking a college assessment test like the SAT or ACT. For the career/technical track, the GPA requirement can be waived in some circumstances. All Career and College Promise Students must maintain a 2.0 College GPA (‘C’ average) in order to remain in the program. CCCC verifies grades at the end of each semester and will inform the high school of any student that is no longer eligible for the CCP program.
Mrs. McKenzie will be working with all of our current and prospective CCP students. Should you have any questions about CCP please feel free to contact Mrs. McKenzie at hmcke851@cccc.edu
