Upcoming Project Goals Include:
- Add additional mental health professionals on each campus to assist our counselors and psychologists in dealing with the unprecedented student mental health needs caused by COVID.
- Increase the ‘Dual-Enrollment’ Program: Through ‘Dual-Enrollment,’ currently 25% of our students earn free college credits while attending high school. Students are able to earn an Associate of Arts Degree (2-year college credit) along with their high school diploma. This allows them to enter college at the junior level.
- Install at each campus new HVAC systems to provide cleaner and more reliable air filtration and climate control.
- Continue to increase Career/Technical Pathways and university science collaborations.
