This program supports high school seniors by providing dual credit opportunities that eliminate "senioritis" and pave the way for post-secondary success. With a focus on hands-on experience in fields like welding and automotive, students can complete an Associate Degree while still in high school. The initiative fosters collaboration among multiple schools, enhancing community trust and cooperation. Academic and curricular guidance is offered by national experts, along with tours and competitions to engage students. Join us in exploring new pathways for brighter futures!
