The High School Department serves students in grades 9 through 12. High School students follow a "block schedule" this year with four classes daily. These classes include the core academic areas, physical education, electives and Vocational classes. Many of our high school students are working toward a high school diploma, while others work toward a State Approved Skills Certificate (SASC) LEAP/EOC remediation is offered during the summer; students have multiple opportunities to pass the Graduate Exit Examination (GEE)/EOC Tests.
