* After graduation I will be expected to fill out a yearly information sheet, keeping the Academy Coordinator updated of my progress.

* Automatic dismissal from the program will result from continuing disciplinary problems with any teacher or after a suspension from school.

* Participation and/or support of scheduled academy meeting/activities is expected of all members. My participation will be documented in the work‐based learning portfolio that will be maintained throughout my Academy experience.

* If I have any questions or problems with regard to any aspect of the Academy program, I can contact the Academy Coordinator, Monnie Sutton at 919-856-2800 x 2499/ msutton@wcpss.net or Monique Jones at 919-856-2800 X 24994/mjones12@wcpss.net

Students schedules will be created in July, 2021. If students apply to the academy after the schedules are created, the current schedule would need to be revised in order to add the required academy courses.

In certain circumstances, the academy course may not be able to be added this school year. The students would complete two required courses the following school year. The students would still be able to participate in all academy events and activities.

We accept 50 freshmen into each academy each school year.  If more than 50 applications are received, a wait-list will be created.

Both the student and a parent/guardian must read the following before completing the application. By entering your electronic signatures below, you are agreeing to the following:
