High School Options
Choices, choices and more choices!
January 2017
Your options…
1. Stay in the magnet program you are currently in.
• Turned in intent form informing us of your interest.
• Guaranteed a spot if your grades & EOG scores are good.
• Go to the Open House Night and the Curriculum Night for your
program.
Your options…
2. Go to the high school that serves your neighborhood.
• Attend Curriculum Night at that high school in Feb. or March.
• Your counselor will help you register for classes in March or April.
3. Apply for an Academy.
• You can attend any high school with an academy if you can
provide your own ride to and from school daily.
• Academies are clusters of classes that you take along with
regular high school classes.
• Go to Open House/Curriculum Night to learn about the
program.
• Fill out the online application by December 21 at noon.
• Wait to see if you get in, have a plan ‘B’ just in case you don’t
get in.
Your options…
Remember when they visited? These were the Academies:
Central Cabarrus High School— STEM
Concord High School— IB
Cox Mill High School— Academy of Information Technology
Hickory Ridge High School— Academy of Hospitality and Finance
Jay M. Robinson High School— Academy of Engineering & Automation
Mount Pleasant High School— Academy of Engineering, Energy & Sustainability
Northwest High School— STEM and Academy of Health Sciences
Your options…
4. Apply to Early College HS / Early College of Technology
• Go to the Prospective Student night on Jan. 7th.
• Fill out the application from the ECHS website and submit
your application online by December 21 at noon.
• Ask a current 8th grade or a previous 7th grade teacher to
complete a recommendation form for you.
• Wait to see if you get a spot, have a plan ‘ B’ just in case
you don’t get in.
• Attend Open House/Curriculum Night at your plan ‘B’
school.
• Get ready for the interview!
Dates to Know
December 21: All School Choice Applications due at NOON.
(This includes Early College, Academies, and Magnet Programs)
February 3: Early College contacting applicants for interviews
February 22, 6-7:15: Concord HS-IB Open House @ CHS
March 7: Decision from county on admittance to Academies
March 7: 8th Grade Transition Day
Words of advice….
• Apply for every program that interests you. That strategy leaves your options open. If you
are offered a spot and decide you don’t want to go there, you can always say ‘no, thank
you’.
• Go where you feel like you need to go, not where your friends go or want you to go. You
have no guarantee to be in the same classes as your friends and would likely see little of
each other throughout the school day.
• Try to decide what school is right for you by early March. 8th Grade Transition Day is
March 7! That is the day when all 8th graders are invited to visit their high school during
the day. You can only go to one because they are all happening on the same day at the
same time. If you have applied for one of the Early Colleges or Academies, but don’t yet
know if you are in, visit your plan ‘B’ high school that day.
• Keep your grades up, come to school every day that you are able and keep working on
good study and learning habits. If your grades are low, work hard to raise them so your
report card shows your potential.

Robinson High School— Academy of Engineering & Automation Mount Pleasant High School— Academy of Engineering, Energy & Sustainability Northwest High School— STEM and Academy of Health Sciences
  • 6. Your options… 4. Apply to Early College HS / Early College of Technology • Go to the Prospective Student night on Jan. 7th. • Fill out the application from the ECHS website and submit your application online by December 21 at noon. • Ask a current 8th grade or a previous 7th grade teacher to complete a recommendation form for you. • Wait to see if you get a spot, have a plan ‘ B’ just in case you don’t get in. • Attend Open House/Curriculum Night at your plan ‘B’ school. • Get ready for the interview!
  • 7. Dates to Know December 21: All School Choice Applications due at NOON. (This includes Early College, Academies, and Magnet Programs) February 3: Early College contacting applicants for interviews February 22, 6-7:15: Concord HS-IB Open House @ CHS March 7: Decision from county on admittance to Academies March 7: 8th Grade Transition Day
  • 8. Words of advice…. • Apply for every program that interests you. That strategy leaves your options open. If you are offered a spot and decide you don’t want to go there, you can always say ‘no, thank you’. • Go where you feel like you need to go, not where your friends go or want you to go. You have no guarantee to be in the same classes as your friends and would likely see little of each other throughout the school day. • Try to decide what school is right for you by early March. 8th Grade Transition Day is March 7! That is the day when all 8th graders are invited to visit their high school during the day. You can only go to one because they are all happening on the same day at the same time. If you have applied for one of the Early Colleges or Academies, but don’t yet know if you are in, visit your plan ‘B’ high school that day. • Keep your grades up, come to school every day that you are able and keep working on good study and learning habits. If your grades are low, work hard to raise them so your report card shows your potential.
