Students in the middle GPA are recruited during their senior year to take classes at the community college for dual credit at both the high school and college, thus giving them a head start on the college experience. Many fees and costs are waived for these students making the transition to college a very positive experience.
• 15% program for early college admittance; any senior student with an acceptable GPA and advanced credits may spend part of their school day taking classes at any local post-secondary institution.
