The Evening Academy can dramatically assist students who need flexibility in their schedules and those who have dropped out. Academy classes are another educational choice for students unable to complete the traditional high school program. Cumberland County offers such a program at Douglas Byrd High School.
Classes meet on a block schedule, and students can take up to three courses each session.
The Cumberland County Evening Academy will provide students with an alternate educational plan designed to complement and accommodate the needs of a diverse student population. Likely Candidates Students who have failed a core course in high school Students who have dropped out of school because of attendance or failure CCS Superintendent William C. Harrison, Ed. D. Principal Allan Jordan, M. Ed.
