Workforce Education
Iredell-Statesville Schools
The primary goal of Iredell-Statesville Schools is to rigorously challenge all students to achieve their academic potential and to lead productive and rewarding lives. Teachers and administrators expect all students to graduate from high school with mastery in reading, math and communication skills, prepared to continue their education at the university or community college or to secure a job that leads to a career.
The system's academic curriculum follows the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. In addition, the school system offers enhancement courses for academically gifted students, remediation programs to bring students that are behind to grade level or better, and special programs for students who have physical, mental, or emotional challenges. The Exceptional Children's programs are available as needed to all students who meet state and federal qualifications K-12. Character education is integrated throughout the curriculum. Beginning in 6th grade, students are taught about problem-solving and anger-management. A model in the state, it is a winner of the Govenor's Award for Excellence in Education.
In high school, students may participate in dual enrollment courses at Mitchell Community College or nearby UNC-C. They can also enroll in "Huskins" courses at MCC and receive both college credit and high school credit. Students can also earn university credit for a variety of advanced placement (AP) courses, including: English, U.S. history, U.S. government and politics, world history, physics, environmental science, biology, chemistry, calculus, and foreign languages. Each student that is not university-bound is required to complete a career-technical education pathway that will prepare them for entry into either the community college or the world of work. Career-technical education programs include courses in agriculture, business, career development, marketing, health occupations, family & consumer sciences, trade & industry, network engineering, etc.
