Why should I take college credit classes in high school?

  1. College admissions offices are looking for students that take challenging classes in high school.
  2. Dual Credit courses will help develop the skills needed to succeed in your future education.
  3. Dual Credit courses can save you thousands of dollars in tuition, books and fees! The more you take in high school, the more you can save!

Examples:

Algebra I Pre-AP or Algebra II PAP 88 x 1.2 = 105.6

Total points earned divided by (3) classes=GPA
316.80 divided by (3) = 105.60 Wgt. Numerical GPA
