Free of Charge

Earn Your High School Diploma

Do you have high school credits from either a public, private or home school? Are you ready to use those credits and earn your High School Diploma? Are you ready to begin the pathway to a better future? MTCC gives you that opportunity – Free of charge!

AHS offers a student the opportunity to use previously obtained high school credits(whether public, private or home school). The student will work through courses in class and/or (limited) on-line classes to achieve the required credits (currently 22) and will graduate with a high school diploma.

Students that accumulate a pre-determined number of credits approved by McDowell County Schools can graduate with a high school diploma. Credits acquired prior to AHS attendance will be evaluated and may count toward the total needed for graduation.

How It Works

The MTCC Adult High School (AHS) program offers students a chance to complete the credits needed to earn a high school diploma. An advisor/instructor will review each student’s high school transcript to determine how many classes are needed to earn a diploma.

  • Students must be at least 18 years old Students aged 16-17 years old may attend with the submission of a Minor Release Petition (MRP) Form.

  • Orientation – Students must attend an Orientation prior to enrollment into AHS. During orientation, assessments are performed on all new students.

  • Transcript – An official High School trancript from the last school attended
    is required for credit evaluation BEFORE a student can begin AHS classes.

  • AHS is a managed enrollment class. Students may only start AHS during the
    first week of the 9 week session.

  • Attendance – A strict attendance policy is observed for AHS class. In addition, the student must make up all work on their own time for any absence within a specified period of time.
