Happy Sunday, Pride Families,
Kudos- Last year, LRHS surpassed growth expectations (exceeding growth) according to the NC school performance grades and was awarded a B school rating. I want to congratulate the dedicated staff at LRHS, who consistently prioritize teaching and learning, and the students for demonstrating outstanding academic accomplishments.
Wake Tech's Career & College Promise (CCP) program- offers eligible high school students the opportunity to earn credits toward a college degree or a credential for employment – tuition-free (there is sometimes a textbook fee.) In many cases, students earn dual credit, meeting high school graduation requirements with college courses. Interested students should review the information on the flyer found here: https://bit.ly/4gxc8nK.
NC Governor's School- The North Carolina Governor's School is a four-week summer residential program for gifted and talented high school students, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses.
