In addition to delivering courses through Community College facilities, the College has created a relationship with area high schools and the Career Technical Education Districts. The Community College offers Dual Credit courses, where high school students take college courses taught by high school teachers at the high school. Similarly, the Community College offers Concurrent Credit courses, where high school students take College courses typically taught by College professors at College facilities.
The Community College reports that over time, partnerships with high schools and the CTE districts have grown high school student enrollments to roughly 15% of total College enrollments. Moreover, these partnerships have encouraged more high school graduates to transfer to the Community College, with matriculation rates well above the national average.
