A Consumer Education proficiency test is
given twice during the school year. A student at any grade level may take
the test, but only take one per year. The student meets graduation requirements
if he/she passes the proficiency test.
In addition, all students must:
- Take eight (8) classes each semester including P.E. all four years.
- Pass the State and Federal Constitution tests.
- Obtain pre-approval for the number of credits earned through community college courses, correspondence courses, summer school, and evening classes. (See handbook)
NCHS allows the following State guidelines for exemption from Physical Education for students in grades 11 and 12:
- The student provides written evidence from an institution of higher education that a course is required for admission that the student cannot otherwise fit into his/her schedule.
- The student lacks sufficient course credit for graduation.
Students who have a medical exemption for P.E. for the duration of a semester will enroll in another course.
