Recovery High School graduates!

College & University Spotlight!

From Berklee College of Music to NC State, Mississippi State, Manhattan University, UNC Chapel Hill, and beyond — our Emerald alumni are heading everywhere their dreams take them!

At Emerald School of Excellence, we walk alongside our seniors every step of the way as they prepare for what’s next — whether that’s a 2-year college, 4-year university, or launching straight into a career path.

We’re proud to share that 62% of our graduates pursue a 2- or 4-year degree after high school — and they’re making their mark all across the country.

The future is bright, and it’s just getting started.
