As the alternative school for CCSD, Career Prep
High School offers students who otherwise may not
graduate high school a different environment.
This chart shows the distribution of Career Prep
High School senior class of 2012 by the year they
first entered high school. Only 27 (11
students) are graduating after 4 years of high
school (2008-2009). The largest percentage of
our students (34) are graduating high school
after 5 years. Two students are graduating after
only 3 years of high school. The remainder (14
students) first enrolled in high school 6, 7, or
8 years ago. The chart on the next slide may
explain why Career Prep students are taking more
than the traditional 4 years to graduate high
school.

I came to Career Prep because I wanted to finish
high school and get my diploma.
I want to get a degree in Early Childhood. I
plan on taking some online classes next year. I
will work until November when my twins are due,
then stay home for a while with my children.
CP helped me get my diploma. The daycare has
been a really big help. It made it possible for
me to finish school.
Other students that need help with day care
should come to CP. They will help you earn your
credits.
