2011-2012 Save-A-Credit High School Courses for PCHS Students - Tuesday Evenings at the Alternative School

 

Adults and high school students wanting to complete remaining high school credits to obtain their high school diploma can do so by taking adult secondary credit classes in Pike County.  These classes are taught in the evening by a licensed secondary teacher, Mrs. Luzell Carter and instructional assistant Laura Graves.  Students work their way through courses on the Novel Stars electronic curriculum  courseware on the computer.  Novel Stars courses have been approved for Indiana.  They are designed to be as rigorous as those taught in a regular high school setting.  Credit is awarded by Pike Central High School, or by the Pike County School Corporation, via the PCSC Adult Education Program. 

 

PCHS students, as well as high school students from around the area, can "recover" high school credit classes by enrolling in the Pike County ASC program.  For more information about completing your high school diploma by making up lost high school credit classes, contact Mrs. Terri Holmes at 812-354-8731, ext. 709.
