Every Student’s Path is Different

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.

Many NHS students choose to take a

combination of AP courses, Dual Enrollment

courses, CEC courses and Georgia Virtual

courses.

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
