The Adult High School Program gives returning students the opportunity to complete the courses needed to earn a High School Diploma. The program benefits people who never completed high school but would like to attend college, get a better job, enter the military, or just have the satisfaction of receiving their High School Diploma.
ECC's Adult High School Program is fully accredited as a high school, and graduates are granted the same rights and privileges as graduates of any high school in North Carolina.
