School Overview
The Performance Learning Center (PLC) in Concord, North Carolina, is a specialized, non-traditional high school operating under the Cabarrus County School system. Designed to serve students who may struggle in a conventional classroom environment, the school focuses on a personalized, self-paced academic model. By utilizing a blend of computer-based curriculum and direct teacher support, the PLC aims to provide an alternative pathway for students to earn their high school diplomas, helping them overcome barriers to graduation such as credit recovery needs or a desire for a more flexible, focused learning environment.

The school emphasizes a small, supportive community atmosphere that prioritizes student engagement and individual accountability. Because of its smaller scale and unique structure, the PLC offers a more intimate setting where students can work closely with instructors to address their specific educational goals. Through this tailored approach, the Performance Learning Center functions as a vital resource within the district, dedicated to re-engaging students who have become disengaged from traditional schooling and ensuring they have the tools necessary to succeed both academically and in their post-secondary futures.
