3 Year Graduation

As a part of North Carolina House Bill 259, NC students will now have the opportunity to apply to be a 3-Year Graduate once they are in high school. The Wake County Public School System values the high school experience and believes that high school provides students with an opportunity to expand their academic pursuits and interests. However, we also realize that this opportunity may be of interest to some of our families.

3 Year graduates may apply to receive a North Carolina scholarship during what would be their 4th year of high school.

Who can apply? A high school student in WCPSS who is at least 16 years of age, in your 3rd year of high school, and desires to graduate after 3 years.

Requirements:

• Students must earn the North Carolina required 22-credits to receive the 3-year diploma. 

• Students must be approved through the 3 year graduate application process
