CHOICES

CHOICES
The CHOICES program is designed to help students who are behind on credits, have medical complications (pregnancy, medical procedure, etc.), or unusual family circumstances. Depending on individual circumstances, students can obtain individual credits for failed courses (credit option) or complete state required courses (diploma option) in order to receive a regular state diploma. CHOICES students are still enrolled in Greene County Schools and are subject to all Greene County School rules.
