CHCCS was honored Monday for having one of the top 10 highest cohort graduation rates in North Carolina.
The award was presented at a special recognition ceremony held at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction in Raleigh. State Superintendent June Atkinson and former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt presented the award to a delegation from the district that included school board chair Lisa Stuckey, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services Denise Bowling, Assistant to the Superintendent for Community Relations Stephanie Knott, Carrboro High School Principal Kelly Batten and Chapel Hill High School Principal Jesse Dingle.
Cohort graduation rates track the graduation outcomes of all students who enter the district as a group in the ninth grade. The cohort graduation rate for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is 88.3 percent.
This was the second year this event was held and the second time CHCCS was recognized for being in the top 10.
