MESSAGE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS Duplin County High Schools offer a comprehensive and flexible curriculum in an effort to meet the needs of all students. All Duplin County High Schools offer a strong academic program that will meet the college entrance requirements at any college or university in the nation. A technical preparation program is offered to prepare for entry-level technical careers and for more specialized education at community and technical colleges. Special programs are offered for properly-identified exceptional children in the areas of gifted/talented, learning disabled, mentally handicapped, multiple handicapped, hearing impaired, visually impaired, speech impaired, and homebound. Remedial programs are offered for students who do not have proficient math and language arts skills. Obviously, with the wide variety of course offerings, a great deal of forethought and planning is necessary to achieve maximum benefit. Counselors and teachers at the school assist students in preparing schedules that will meet their future needs. Parents and students are encouraged to consult the school counselors concerning any questions they have about program planning. This curriculum guide information has been prepared to assist parents and students in selecting the appropriate high school programs. Please read this information carefully and become thoroughly familiar with all of the courses offered. The courses selected will vitally affect career choices after high school. The Duplin County School System is committed to the policy of non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, gender, religion or handicap. Every effort is made to identify and to locate students who may have disabilities in order to provide them with a free and appropriate education. All parents or guardians of such students have the right to request evaluations and accommodations for their children. Please contact your child’s local school 504 coordinator for information or the district level 504 coordinator B.G. Kennedy at (910) 296-1521. McKinney-Vento Homelessness Act applies to children and youth in school age 21 and under, consistent with their eligibility for public education services under state and federal law. For exceptional children, federal law requires the right to access services until age 22. |
