Athens Drive  High School utilizes a 4 by 4 Block schedule, which allows students to earn eight credits each year of high school. Graduation from Athens Drive, requires completion of a minimum of 26 credits.
  • Students in the Occupational Course of Study  must complete 22 credits, 900 work hours, and present a career portfolio to graduate.
Students must satisfy all course, credit, and testing requirements for at least one diploma type in order to earn a diploma and must meet the graduation requirements that were in effect the year they entered ninth grade for the first time.

Math I (formerly Algebra I) is a graduation requirement for all students. The only exceptions to the Math requirement are for students have an Individual Education Program (IEP) that identifies them as Learning Disabled (LD) in math and states that the disability will prevent them from mastering the mathematical content in Math I and above. Once a student is exempt, the exemption holds until the student exits public school. Documentation of the exemption will be written in a present level of performance statement on the student’s IEP.

Students who complete all graduation requirements receive a diploma at graduation. Beginning with the graduating class of 2014-2015, students have the opportunity to earn Endorsements to their High School Diploma (GCS-L-007).  Students must meet all requirements set forth in State Board Policy GCS-N-004 “State Graduation Requirements” related to earning a high school diploma.  Endorsements identify a particular area of focused study for students. Students may earn a Career Endorsement, a College Endorsement, and/or a North Carolina Academic Scholars Endorsement.
