For admission to colleges within the NC university system, students must have at least one math course higher than Algebra II. In addition, the third unit of science must be a laboratory course. Having two units of the same foreign language is required. Another recommendation is that the last year of foreign language be taken in the senior year. It is recommended that students take a fourth year of science and a third year of foreign language.
Honors classes
In 9th-12th grade, honors classes are selected. For most honors classes, an A (B requires a teacher recommendation) in the previous College Prep class or an A or B (C requires a teacher recommendation) in the previous Honors class is required. Exceptions to the prerequisite minimums will be made only after permission has been granted by the student's parents, the teacher of the course, and the administration. Honors courses receive one additional grade point value.
