The teachers at CATO helped me prepare for my college experience. A lot of my friends are having trouble with school at UNCC but I am comfortable with the work and workload because of my teachers from high school.

I had a less than fun experience at this school. The staff was always unhelpful regarding very important questions about grade thirteen and graduation. Navigating the world after leaving this school feels like stumbling around in the dark.

This school offers an exceptional opportunity to students seeking a positive educational environment and to attend college classes in 11th and 12th grades. We are extremely excited to get an new Principal, Mr. Joseph Burch, who brings a distinguished School of Excellence achievement from his previous assignments in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. My child has already made many new friends in his first semester and is excited and thrilled to be in classes with college age students.
