College/Career Education Program

Program Overview

WHCS believes that every student should be provided the opportunity to earn college credits while meeting High School graduation requirements. WHCS students can take dual credit classes in-person and/or online through our College and Career Readiness Program. WHCS College/Career Program creates opportunities for students to earn both High School and college credits as they work toward a High School diploma, industry certificate, and/or an Associate Degree in various STEM and sustainable fields. These programs increase opportunities for underserved populations, and for all participating students to graduate with a High School diploma, and college credits that can lead to certifications.
