• Exceptional Children Department

    The Exceptional Children Department Programs provide students who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) with opportunities for academic and elective success in the least restrictive environment.  Programming is based on a student-by-student basis, geared to the student’s specific needs in each classroom setting.  The majority of students in the program(s) are served in the regular classroom with support from Exceptional Children Department teachers and staff.

    Additional programs include the following:

    Occupational Course of Study (OCS) 

    Student enrollment in the Occupational Diploma Program provides students with school and community-based hands-on employment and job training. The program provides academic support and prepares the student for full time employment after graduation from high school. Students completing the program receive a North Carolina High School Diploma and leave high school with skills to enter the workplace. Students also can apply to attend a community college after graduation.
