College Credit
CTE Dual Credit is a state program for students in career and technical classes to earn college credit at the same time as high school credit for specific Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. To earn the simultaneous credit, students must earn the minimum grade each semester and meet certain technical performance competencies outlined by the credit-awarding college. Questions? Contact your CTE teacher.
