Senior Leave Program Overview

Senior Leave is a special opportunity that allows eligible high school seniors to have a partial school day schedule during their senior year. Applications are made available each semester.

To qualify for Senior Leave, students must:

  • Be on track to graduate with a minimum unweighted GPA of 2.0.

  • Have officially earned Senior status.

  • Earned at least one acceleration credit (such as AP or Dual Enrollment), or be currently enrolled in a Dual Enrollment course during their senior year.

  • Have met Reading and Math graduation testing requirements or earned the appropriate concordant scores.

  • Have taken a Post-Secondary Readiness (PSR) test (PERT, ACT, CLT, or SAT) and earned college-ready scores in both math and reading. Visit the Testing section on our Atlantic Coast High School website for test dates and costs. Post-Secondary test scores may be reviewed in the Testing section.

  • Provide proof of transportation.

Note: Senior Leave is a privilege and can be revoked if a student is not meeting graduation and/or attendance expectations.
