Dual Credit programs offer high school students the opportunity to earn college and high school credit simultaneously before they receive their high school diploma. Talk to your JHS Academic Counselor to discuss your options. 

Benefits of the program: 

• Enhances the ability and skills to do college-level work and aids students in gaining confidence for college success
• Students may earn enough credit to gain advanced standing when admitted to college full-time and are entitled to register earlier for classes
• Save money by receiving free or reduced cost college credit and shorten the amount of time, after high school, required to complete at college
• Research shows Dual Credit students are more likely to finish college and earn more credits by the 2nd year of college
