Superintendent Josh Stafford says their dual credit early college program helps high school students graduate with a diploma and an associate’s degree.
“They’re able to do that through a combination of dual credit classes that are offered during the regular high school day and also dual enrollment classes that they will go to in the summer or even before and after the school day and the regular school year to one of the community colleges and take courses directly with the community college.”
The students have access to numerous college course credits - all available during the regular school day.
