Yearbook Order Information

Early Graduation 

Students eligible for early graduation must have completed all of their graduation requirements by the end of the first (fall) semester of their senior year.  These seniors do not attend high school for the second (spring) semester. Seniors requesting to graduate early must submit the online Schedule Change Form during the normal schedule change window. A student-parent-counselor conference is required for this option. Early graduates do not receive their high school diplomas until the graduation ceremony in June of their senior year.  Students who need evidence of graduation prior to the graduation ceremony may request a letter from the school counselor or principal stating that they have met all graduation requirements and are eligible for a diploma. 

Some students may be interested in graduating from high school in three years instead of four. Students wishing to explore this option should discuss it with their school counselors as early in high school as possible but not later than the start of their junio year. A student-parent-counselor conference is required. 

Flexing 

Students who have completed graduation requirements may have room in their schedules to flex (leave school) for one or more periods during their senior year.  As per Cabarrus County Schools Guidelines, students are limited to flexing a maximum of one course per semester or two courses per year. Flexing is only allowed for at the start or the end of the school day. Flexing is strongly discouraged for college-bound seniors. Seniors requesting to flex one or two courses must submit the online Schedule Change Form during the normal schedule change window. A student-parent-counselor conference is required for this option.

CMHS Flexing Expectations

Please speak with your teacher about exam exemptions, as the normal policy has been impacted by pandemic response. Thank you.

College applications and college-entrance exams (ACT and SAT) have costs which can provide a financial challenge for some students and families. Fee Waivers may be available to qualifying students. Typically, the qualifying criteria is family income or hardship as determined by qualifying criteria for Free and Reduced Lunch. Once a student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, he/she may request Fee Waiver information for the ACT, SAT or college applications from the S3 Office Registrar. Learn more about Fee Waivers here:
