Curriculum
editAfter applying and getting accepted, students at the school are dual enrolled in JCC and JCCTLA. The primary mission is to prepare students with the general qualifications to transfer to a 4-year college.[4][5] A diploma and an associate degree are both awarded upon graduation. The program is five years long to accommodate the extra classes needed for graduation.[6] The schedule does not follow the traditional Johnston County School schedule and instead follows the Johnston Community College calendar.[7]
Achievement
