School Overview

Middle College High School at Durham Technical Community College (MCHS) is a unique, collaborative partnership between Durham Public Schools and Durham Technical Community College. Located on the college campus, the school serves students in grades 11 and 12 who are seeking a non-traditional, college-focused environment. By integrating high school coursework with college-level instruction, the program allows students to earn their high school diplomas while simultaneously earning college credits, certifications, or even associate degrees, effectively bridging the gap between secondary and post-secondary education.

The school is designed for students who thrive in an independent, professional atmosphere and are motivated to jumpstart their collegiate or career paths. Because the high school is embedded within a community college setting, students experience a more mature academic culture, smaller class sizes, and a highly personalized learning environment. This setup not only prepares them for the rigors of higher education but also provides a structured support system that helps them successfully transition into adulthood and the workforce.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
