Dual Enrollment:

Dual Enrollment are College Classes offered at the High School where students can receive both college units and high school credit.  Under Assembly Bill 288, dual enrollment is intended to reach a broader range of students and emphasis on college and career readiness, CTE and transfer pathways.

Learning Communities & First Year Experience Program (FYE):

Learning communities are classes that are paired or clustered around a common theme, public issue, or question. Students benefit from an enriched classroom environment due to attending multiple classes with the same students, promoting student-to-student interaction.

The First Year Experience program (FYE) is a student success program designed to help students make a smooth and successful transition into college. FYE pairs classes together in “Houses” that focus on an area of interest and/or major; creating cohorts of students with shared interest.
