Career Center

The Career Center is a high school located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It offers an extension to the regular high school program. Classes offered include Advanced Placement courses, career and technical education (CTE) courses, as well as English and other classes too small to be held at the regular high schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools program, such as Japanese and Chinese. It also offers extended day classes, which are classes held after school that allow students to "make up" a failed class in order to graduate. It moved to a new facility in January 2012, after a bond vote sold its previous facility to Forsyth Tech.

Student schedule

Students come from the 10 main high schools of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools system. Most students typically spend about half a day at the Career Center, either in the morning or afternoon, taking one or more Advanced Placement or a career-related class. Several honors and regular level classes are also offered. Bus transportation is provided at certain times to and from home schools, and some students drive. Students spend the rest of the day at their "home" school. A common schedule, especially among underclassmen (who have fewer classes available to take at Career Center), is for students to take a single class during Career Center's 1st period and then return to their home school for the home first period. Some students have all of their classes at the Career Center; schedules vary from student to student.
