The Adult High School provides a way for
persons who dropped out of high school for various reasons
to return and earn the credits they need for their high
school diplomas. The State requires a student to complete a
minimum of 24 credits. The Adult High School offers students
a chance to earn those credits at their own pace with a
flexible schedule. The students must meet the graduation
requirements maintaining a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and must
pass the FCAT exams to receive a high school diploma.
Each student follows an individualized,
self-paced instruction guide for each course of credit.
Credit is awarded upon successful completion of course
requirements and the successful passing of a final
assessment for each course. Anyone 16 years of age or older
not currently enrolled as regular daytime high school
student may enroll in the High School program.
Guidance counselors evaluate the student's high school
transcript and recommend courses based on the student's
level of attainment in high school and his/her personal
goals.
