Middle School

At the end of your 8th grade year, you will register for high school. It is important that you understand the North Carolina Graduation Requirements and Career Clusters. You will need to complete a four-year plan and select a course of study. Consider taking courses that will start your college transcript. (This will help your parents save money when you decide to go to a 2-year or 4-year college.)

Start by checking out the 9th grade information. Or go to our resources page and start researching careers.
