TRANSCRIPT
COURSE OF STUDY:ECF 9th and 10th grade students will take pre-determined courses that satisfy both high school and FTCC graduation requirements.
During the Junior year, ECF students will choose to pursue an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree. Students will begin to have choice in college course selection beginning in their 11th grade year (provided the college courses apply to the A.A. or A.S. degree).
State legislation prevents students from obtaining both the A.A. and A.S. degree. ECF students are limited to no more than 64 total credit hours earned at FTCC.

VISION: Our vision is to form a unique high school dedicated to preparing students for careers that are available in our community today and in the future. Forsyth Tech and the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools are committed to creating a unique small school that provides a nurturing, supportive environment that expects students to flourish and achieve their academic goals.
MISSION:We will offer a smaller learner-centered community that prepares students for a challenging program of study by developing academic rigor, providing relevant coursework, and building school and community relationships for students’ success in the global economy.
LOCATION:Our school is located on the 2nd Floor of Ardmore Hall on Forsyth Tech’s main campus. Ardmore Hall is closest to the corner of Miller Street and Silas Creek Parkway-South. Our main office is Room 235 in Ardmore Hall.
HOURS:Office hours for ECF are 8:00 AM-4:00 PM. High school instructional hours Monday-Thursday are 9:00 AM-3:15 PM. Office and instructional hours end at 3:00 PM on Fridays due to the campus closing at 3:00 PM.
