Each student is unique and each student
has his or her own path to blaze.
Depending on the college and career
pathway you choose, there will be
requirements, prerequisite courses, and
options you will want to learn about
before making your schedule decisions
for 2015-2016.

combination of AP courses, Dual Enrollment
courses, CEC courses and Georgia Virtual

You will want to talk to your school counselor,
your advisor, your teachers, and to your
parents to determine the best courses for you
to take to help you determine your Individual
Graduation Plan (IGP).
Let us help you find your path!

When would I go to CEC?
The CEC schedule is slightly ahead of the
NHS schedule, allowing time for
travel between campuses.
You can take a class first block, or
blocks 1&2, or 3&4.
Because some required academic courses
are taught there, some juniors and seniors
attend CEC all day.
How do I get to CEC ?
You may drive or have
someone take you.
You may ride the bus provided by the school.
Buses run in the morning, after 2nd Block, and
at the end of the day.
If your bus gets to NHS after
7:50 a.m., you should consider
other transportation options.
What are the classes
like at CEC?
•Most CEC classes are taught with a practical
“hands on” approach.
•Students may become involved in
work-based or apprenticeship opportunities
offered by local businesses.
•Students may earn college credit or job skill
certification at CEC.
•You can request more information by filling out a card
at a CEC representative's table. You are not registering
for the class when you fill out this card.
•If you are interested in taking a class at CEC, you must
list the class(s) on your course registration sheet when you receive
registration materials in a few weeks.
Counselors, administrators, and CEC representatives
will be on hand to answer your questions.
What should I do if I am
