Best Practices In Career and College PromiseMALLARD CREEK HIGH SCHOOL

INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL

Mallard Creek Model

Program which will provide students the opportunity to graduate from Mallard Creek High School, having already earned a full year’s worth of college credits from Central Piedmont Community College, tuition free! MCin3=+1@CP is aimed at current sophomores to ensure that the appropriate credits are earned by the end of the student’s junior year so he or she may attend CPCC throughout the senior year.

Proposed Junior Year Schedule

More about MC3+1@CPCC

Unlike the Career and College Promise program, MCin3+1@CP allows students to complete all high school requirements in 3 years in order to take all college level classes their senior year.

MCHS Career Development Coordinator will check-in with seniors in the program twice a month.

Current sophomores must meet with their counselor as soon as possible to change their schedule in order to meet the graduation requirements in their 3rd (junior) year.

It's a win/win program! Students are off campus but still count toward your high school's head count for teacher allotments.

Helps to ease overcrowded classrooms and students earn college credit tuition free!
