The Winston-Salem Street School (WSSS) is a private alternative high school serving the at-risk youth of the Greater Winston-Salem area of North Carolina.
Maria came to the AdultProgram after working for about five years. Maria lacked two credits and earned them in about five months. She mentioned how helpful and professional everyone at the Street School was while she was our student. The hardest part of earning those credits was language; Maria is not a native English speaker.
Maria reflected on how much she enjoyed learning again!
Leslie, High School
Leslie’s friend told her about the WSSS and in two semesters, she graduated! Leslie says the teachers care, and she had more support than before. Here, teachers motivated her to complete her work, and she took advantage of the WSSS dual enrollment program with Forsyth Technical Community College.
Leslie has been accepted at UNC Greensboro for fall 2023.
