The Link- A Pathway to Success

Pinckney Community Schools Alternative Education Program

The Link - A Pathway to Success is an alternative education program that is offered online using Michigan Virtual and in person in Room 409 at the Pathfinder Campus. The Link is designed for students who are credit deficient and not on track to graduate on time from Pinckney Community High School. Students at PCHS should start the school year with these number of credits:

  • Sophomore: 6

  • Junior: 12

  • Senior: 18

Any student not on track with the above requirements may be referred to our alternative education school, The Link - A Pathway to Success. PCHS students’ class standing is evaluated bi-annually to assess student credits and to determine a student’s grade level placement.

PCHS students have four years to complete the Michigan Merit Curriculum requirements to graduate. Any student not completing these requirements within the four years will complete their high school requirements at The Link - A Pathway to Success.

Student learning takes place using the Michigan Virtual Essentials Platform for most core classes. When Essential classes are not available, students will be enrolled in Michigan Virtual Plus courses. Students are required to graduate with 18 credits in line with  the Michigan Merit Curriculum and graduate with a PCS, The Link - A Pathway to Success, High School Diploma.
