Juniors and Seniors on free or reduced lunches can take up to 3 college classes per semester for free.  See the principal for more information.

• College Credit Opportunity Outside of School: Although we only offer concurrent credit to students in 11th and 12th grade, younger students who have required test scores can take college classes on their own.  The school does not set these up or count them in the student's schedule or transcript.  If you are interested, you can contact the college of your choosing and inquire about college classes, necessary scores, and registration.  AGAIN, this is not part of the high school records, and we do not set this up for the students.
