Before the 2006-07 school year, the high school used a 6-period schedule. However, during the 2006-07 school year, a new controversial 7-period schedule was introduced. A mostly student led protest organized sit downs with several members of the school board in order to avoid the change into a block schedule. After long talks between the two parties, the school board altered their plan to the now seven period day.<ref>{{cite news |first=Patrick |last=Winn |authorlink= |author= |coauthors= |title=Chapel Hill high school day to grow |url=http://www.newsobserver.com/161/story/431046.html |work= |publisher=The News & Observer |date=2006-04-21 |accessdate=2006-12-09 }}</ref>

During the 2007-2008 school year, a [[cheating#Academic|cheating]] ring was discovered inside the school. Several students had been in possession of a [[Key (lock)#Master key|master key]] which they had used to repeatedly enter the school and teacher's rooms in order to access and photocopy tests and answer keys. The resulting answers were then used by these students to score higher on [[exam]]s; the answer keys were usually stored on [[cell phone]]s and passed or sent around between members of the group. Some [[college]]s then contacted the school seeking information about who was involved such that the perpetrators could have their admissions revoked. However, only local colleges got in touch with the school, so most of the 11 implicated students managed to avoid harsh punishment.

The master key copies had been in existence for about two years before anyone was caught and to avoid the possibility of some of the copies not being confiscated, all of the school's doors were re-keyed and the new keys are being held under closer supervision. The cost of this re-keying has been estimated at several thousand dollars.<ref name=Chapel Hill Principal: Colleges Inquire About Cheating>http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/2503173/</ref>

Recent changes

Before the 2006-07 school year, the high school used a 6-period schedule. However, during the 2006-07 school year, a new controversial 7-period schedule was introduced. A mostly student led protest organized sit downs with several members of the school board in order to avoid the change into a block schedule. After long talks between the two parties, the school board altered their plan to the now seven period day.[7]

Controversy

During the 2007-2008 school year, a cheating ring was discovered inside the school. Several students had been in possession of a master key which they had used to repeatedly enter the school and teacher's rooms in order to access and photocopy tests and answer keys. The resulting answers were then used by these students to score higher on exams; the answer keys were usually stored on cell phones and passed or sent around between members of the group. Some colleges then contacted the school seeking information about who was involved such that the perpetrators could have their admissions revoked. However, only local colleges got in touch with the school, so most of the 11 implicated students managed to avoid harsh punishment.

The master key copies had been in existence for about two years before anyone was caught and to avoid the possibility of some of the copies not being confiscated, all of the school's doors were re-keyed and the new keys are being held under closer supervision. The cost of this re-keying has been estimated at several thousand dollars.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
