School and Community

Since 1951, Myers Park High School has inspired in its students a passion for learning and a commitment to personal integrity and academic excellence. Students are empowered to become self-confident, creative, socially responsible, and globally aware. With a 62-acre campus and 13 individual buildings, students are able to learn in an environment similar to a small college. The campus is centered around a quadrangle, commonly known as the "quad". Myers Park is one of the public high schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system. The 2012-2013 enrollment is 2780+ students, making Myers Park the largest high school in Mecklenburg County and one of the largest in North Carolina.

In the graduating class of 2012, 94% of its students went on to pursue their education after high school: 80% attended a four-year college or university, 14% went on to a community or technical colleges, and 6% joined the work force or military. Myers Park utilizes A-day/B-day, 4X4, and hybrid schedules where all students attend four, ninety-minute classes every day. The school mascot is the Mustang. Its official colors are kelly green and white. Myers Park is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Newsweek and The Washington Post have ranked Myers Park as one of America’s Best High Schools. Myers Park is home to the first public International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB) in North Carolina and first Middle Years Program (MYP) in the US. The Student Body The composition of the student body has an international flavor with over 32 countries represented in the school population. Myers Park embraces a diverse student population that is 59% white, 26% African American, 8% Hispanic, 5% Asian, and 2% other. Thirty-four percent of the student body receives free or reduced lunch. The Faculty Myers Park offers a comprehensive array of support services and resources designed to help all students succeed. Our highly qualified faculty consists of one hundred and forty-eight teachers, one principal, two dean of students, an International Baccalaureate Coordinator, seven counselors, an EC Compliance Coordinator, a testing coordinator, two CTE Career Development Coordinators, and one media specialist. The Student Support Services Department includes the following part-time staff members: a psychologist, a student assistance counselor, a nurse, and a speech/language pathologist. Curriculum and Extra-Curricular Programs Each student is recognized as an individual with an array of interests, talents, and needs.

Academic excellence, athletic development, community service, and creative pursuits come together to strengthen the whole student. Fifty special interest clubs are available to students. Myers Park supports 35 junior varsity and varsity sports for men and women. More than one-third of the student body participates in the athletic program. These complementary opportunities make Myers Park one of a kind.

Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and Honors courses are offered in most academic areas. General courses and remedial instruction are also available. In addition, the curriculum provides broad vocational offerings, including Career/Technical Education, an Occupational Diploma, apprenticeships, career intern programs, and the Occupational Course of Study for Exceptional Education students. Art, photography, chorus, theatre, orchestra, marching band, debate, journalism, culinary arts, and JROTC are strong components of Myers Park’s curriculum.

Class Rank/Grade Point Average Credit is assigned on a yearly basis and quality points are assigned on the same basis. The year grade is

counted twice for GPA purposes. (There are still a few semester courses. These grades are counted once.) Quality points are assigned on the following scale: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. One additional quality

point is assigned to all Advanced, Honors, and IBMYP courses (except IBMYP Art, IBMYP Drama, and level II IBMYP foreign languages). All foreign language courses receive an additional quality point after the second level. Two additional quality points are assigned to IB and AP courses.

GPA is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of classes taken in grades 9-12.

Class rank is a ranking of the GPAs in numerical order. The GPA, run in February of the junior and senior years, uses the semester grade as an interim grade for

GPA purposes only.

ACT, AP, IB AND SAT TESTING DATA: 2012 College Testing: CEEB Code 340-680

Advance Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) The International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous, two-year comprehensive curriculum for grades eleven and twelve, that seeks to prepare students for post-secondary study. To receive the IB Diploma, students must successfully take one course from each of six subject groups, three courses at Standard Level (one- or two-year courses) and three courses at Higher Level (two-year courses). Additionally, IB students complete a course in Theory of Knowledge, participate in over 150 hours of Creativity, Action, and Service activities, and write an extended essay of 4,000 words. The Extended Essay gives students an opportunity to conduct an in-depth study of a topic of special interest. The percentage of Myers Park students receiving the IB Diploma has exceeded United States and international averages for 18 consecutive years. Myers Park offers 24 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and 40 International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, the highest selection of college-level courses among Mecklenburg County schools, public or private. Last year, 620 Myers Park students took at least one AP or IB exam. Any student can take an AP course or enroll in the IB Diploma Program as long as he or she has met any prerequisites and feels capable of completing the level of academic performance required. Research demonstrates that the best predictors of college graduation are not good high-school grades or test scores, but whether or not a student had an intense academic experience in high school. AP and IB courses offer students the opportunity to tackle college-level academics while still in high school. AP exams meet national standards; IB exams meet international standards. With 24 AP courses and 40 IB courses to choose from, Myers Park students are able to explore their interests, discover new passions, and acquire the skills and habits needed to be successful in college.
