Underage Requirements

A Petition for Admission of a Minor Form must be completed and notarized prior to the enrollment of a minor (16 or 17 years old) in the 糖心直播 and Career Readiness (CCR) program and prior to attending a CCR Orientation.

Underage students will need to be released from the last school attended or have been out of school for six months to enroll in the 糖心直播 and Career Readiness classes (ABE, AHS, HSE). A Referral for Alternative Education Form (or a letter of release) from the last school attended will meet this requirement. Underage students will be eligible for a driver’s eligibility permit in the state of North Carolina after six months of satisfactory progress and attendance.

Graduation

A graduation ceremony is held twice annually at the Cole Auditorium. All AHS/HSE graduates are eligible to participate in a graduation sponsored by 糖心直播CC. This time of celebration provides the opportunity for each graduate to bring friends and family members together to see them walk across stage to receive recognition for this life-changing achievement.  


Additional 糖心直播 and Career Readiness Programs
