Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences

Hawthorne High School, located at 1411 Hawthorne Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina, serves as a specialized educational institution within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) district. Unlike a traditional neighborhood high school, Hawthorne is designed as an alternative education campus. It provides a focused, supportive environment for students who may require a non-traditional approach to learning to succeed academically and prepare for graduation. The school emphasizes individualized attention and smaller class settings to help students address unique personal or academic challenges while staying on track to earn their diplomas.

The curriculum at Hawthorne is geared toward academic recovery and college and career readiness, offering students the tools necessary to transition into the workforce or post-secondary education. By providing flexible pacing and targeted instruction, the school aims to re-engage students who might otherwise struggle in a large, conventional classroom environment. Through its partnership with the CMS district, Hawthorne High plays a vital role in ensuring that all students in the Charlotte area have an equitable opportunity to complete their high school education and achieve their long-term goals.
