High School
“It is the goal of this Charter School to help a student become an educated individual, one who possesses a self-motivated ability to learn, a diverse yet well developed set of interests, and the desire to master academic and vocational skills to the best of his or her ability” - Plumas Charter School charter


Choose Your Path to Graduation

Project Study Do you have a specific area of interest? Are you planning to center your education around a specific topic,such as a trade, the environment, travel, starting a business, or the performing arts?

Project study allows a student to focus on specific area on interest. Successful completion of a project will culminate in graduation.

Credit by Exam Students can receive course credit by demonstrating mastery with a score of 75%  or better on a course specific exam. These exams will be given only under controlled conditions.

Conventional Course of Study Students can choose to pursue a program similar to that offered by a conventional high school.  This is the recommended option for students who may wish to transfer back into their district school of residence.  PCS students enjoy the flexibility to schedule and pace their education to suit their personal needs while at the same time keeping future educational options open

 

 Students Who Have Completed Grade 12 But Have Not Passed the California State High School Exit Exam:

     Earning a high school diploma is an important milestone in a young person’s educational career. We want you to be successful as you prepare to participate fully in the larger society. Accessing the educational options available to you will help in that preparation. Please take advantage of these options; we are here to help you succeed.
     A recently enacted Assembly Bill (AB 347) states that you are entitled to receive intensive instruction and services for up to two consecutive academic years after completion of grade 12 or until you have passed both parts of the exit examination, whichever comes first. Also, you have the right to file a complaint regarding those services through the Uniform Complaint Procedure as set forth in California Education Code Section 35186.
     Please note that you may take the CAHSEE up to five times this coming school year, until you pass it. We encourage you to keep taking the exam until you pass. For specific information, contact Taletha Washburn, Educational Coordinator, at 283-3851.
