Letter from Superintendent

Dear Students,

The High School Course Guide contains information to aid you in planning a course of study. The courses and programs listed in this document provide an opportunity to try a variety of subjects. This is a time for students to take full advantage of the opportunities in high school and to prepare for life after graduation and the transition to college, a career or enlistment.

Please take the time to review the course listings carefully. They include specifics about course selection options, academic levels, academic and post secondary career planning, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and the National Collegiate Athletic Association sports eligibility guidelines, dual enrollment agreements, graduation requirements, grade level promotion information, diploma requirements, course final examinations, grade point averages, attendance and career clusters.

Development of a comprehensive academic and career plan is best accomplished as collaboration between students, parents, school counselors, teachers and principals. I encourage you to talk to your parents, counselors and teachers about which courses will give you the best opportunity to reach your future goals. A well developed plan will ensure that graduation requirements are met and that academic and personal growth are supported as you prepare for post-secondary options.  In addition, it is my sincere hope that such collaboration will enable you to have a wonderful high school experience. 

 Best wishes as you plan and prepare for the 2024-2025 school year and beyond.

Sincerely,

Tim Locklair, Ed.D.

Superintendent
