Do not miss our upcoming event for Rising 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders! Current 12th graders can come and take advantage of scholarship discussions, Sports and club opportunities, work force opportunities and more! Food trucks will be on site as well!
Tuesday, 11th graders take the ACT while 9th, 10th and 12th will work asynchronously from home. 11th graders need to be on campus to take the ACT and each student will get a ticket for a slushie from our slushie truck after the exam. They can leave immediately after the exam unless parents tell us otherwise, OR are waiting for a bus at 4:15. Students that do not take the exam will take it on March 21st, the make up exam date.
Seniors with a GPA of 2.8 or higher, interested in Advance Manufacturing, please see Mr. Lowe in room 221C for more details about this great opportunity
Firstly, Project Uplift is “a summer enrichment and college access program that provides students with exposure to life at Carolina.” This is open to all NC residents because it is a great way for them to get exposure to college life. The deadline is March 15th Students can apply here: https://diversity.unc.edu/project-uplift-and-uplift-plus/
Next, NC State has 3 pre-college programs for rising juniors and seniors. What is amazing about this opportunity is that students will be given a mentor that they will have throughout the following school year. Students with an unweighted GPA of 3.4 or higher or are in the top 15% of their class are encouraged to apply. Applications close on April 7th. https://admissions.ncsu.edu/pre-college-programs/
High Point Central is looking for feedback from all stakeholders exploring a transition from Block scheduling to Traditional scheduling for the 24-25 school year. You can use this FORM to provide any feedback. We will share information related to questions and concerns within our blog moving forward.
Learning Hubs has added a third day of the week based on the success we have seen. We will now hold the Hub Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30-6. Students must let Mr. Hagerman know they are interested in attending.
We are also still in need of volunteers for our Adopt-A-Room. Help us create a partnership between you and a staff member at HPC. This is not a huge time or financial commitment, but an opportunity to help staff spruce up their room. We will put you directly in contact with a staff member to communicate and build a partnership. Are you not too sure how you can help? We have had a great turnout so far, but we need more volunteers! Simply e-mail our PTO president at cecewas@aol.com.
