After months of consideration by school board members – and even more months of research by the district’s administration – Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is moving to a new class schedule for all of its high schools.

The Board of Education voted 6-0 (with member Rani Dasi absent) in favor of moving Chapel Hill High School, East Chapel Hill High School, and Carrboro High School away from their current seven-period format and to a new structure with four classes each semester – and a daily “flex” period. The new schedule will go into place for the 2025-26 school year, giving the district time to coordinate with educators, students, and families on how to best adjust to the change. The recommended model from the district, however, shows the class periods will each last 80 minutes, the daily flex time will last 35 minutes, and a standard lunch break will be offered.
The impetus for the change came from the district tasking its staff to best explore how to align the schedules of its four high schools. 

While the non-traditional Phoenix Academy High School operates on a 4×4 block, Chapel Hill High and East Chapel Hill High have traditional seven-period classes year-round, while Carrboro High has a seven-period day with flex time. Now, the change will allow all four high schools to work off the same schedule, which district administrators and the school board members said will create more chances for inter-campus learning between high schools and Durham Technical Community College.
