  1. What is Muscogee County Evening High School?
    Muscogee County Evening High School (MCEHS) is an alternative to the traditional high school instructional program and is conducted in the evening. Credit(s) earned by successfully completing courses at MCEHS count toward fulfilling the requirements for graduation from day school to toward obtaining the Georgia High School Diploma.

     
  2. Why should a student attend MCEHS?
    If a student is currently attending a high school program during the day, MCEHS offers opportunities to make up credit(s) or take extra courses toward graduation from their home-school. For those who did not finish high school, credits already earned in previous schools will be applied toward graduation. MCEHS can lead to a Georgia High School Diploma, which is readily accepted by the military, universities, and employers.

     
  3. Who is eligible for MCEHS?
    Any student enrolled in regular day school may also enroll at MCEHS. The student must have a concurrent enrollment form signed by their principal or guidance counselor and a parent. The counselor will provide the course numbers for original/repeat courses. A student who is currently suspended or expelled from day school may not enroll in MCEHS.

     
  4. How much does MCEHS cost?
    Evening High School is not a part of the state mandated free public education program of the Muscogee County School
    County resident tuition fee: $50.00
    Out-of-county tuition fee: $237.25
    Out-of-state tuition fee: $864.75

  6. What are the policies on attendance and student conduct?
    A student who misses 7 or more evenings of school is considered excessively absent and may not meet requirements for earning credit(s). The MCEHS principal and teacher(s) review cases of absenteeism to decide whether or not credit can be awarded.

    Regular day school conduct and dress requirements are in effect. Tobacco products are not permitted on school property or at school-sponsored events. Serious and/or repeated violations of school rules and regulations may be sufficient reason for dropping a student from MCEHS without a refund of fees.
