WHY SHOULD STUDENTS TAKE COURSES FOR COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL?
- Experience college while you are still in high school. Learn what is expected of you and develop skills you need now to get the most out of college later.
- Studies have shown that students who complete college coursework are more likely to continue their education beyond their freshmen year in college. They are also more likely to graduate within four to five years.
- CHS pays the bill while you are in high school! This saves you money while you earn college credit in high school and may mean less classes you have to take (and pay for!) in college.
