Adult High School Diploma (AHS)
100% online
No Cost

The Adult High School Diploma program (AHS) offers students a chance to complete the credits not earned in high school and receive a high school diploma through an agreement with the NC Community College System, the NC Department of Public Instruction, Gaston County Schools and Lincoln County Schools.

Students must provide an official (unopened) transcript from the last high school attended prior to being scheduled for placement testing. Previously earned credits transfer to Gaston College Adult High School and the remaining classes are completed in the Adult High School online program.

For admission to Adult High School, students must read on at least a 9th grade level. Placement testing and orientation are offered throughout the year, so enrollment is on a rolling schedule.

Gaston College Adult High School is 100% online and there is no cost to attend.
