The Kirkwood Washington County Regional Center will be holding its College Credit in High School (CCHS) information night for current 8th- through 11th-grade students. This informational evening will take place on Wednesday, February 5th beginning at 6:30 p.m. 

Kirkwood Washington County Regional Director Tera Pickens shares what topics will be covered that evening, “All of the college credit in high school opportunities that are available to them. Of course we will cover all of the career academies that we have available at our regional center, but we also share with parents and students more information about the CCHS courses that are taught on site, as well as online options.” Through CCHS programs, students in Washington County can explore potential careers, build essential skills, and earn free, transferable college credit, all while simultaneously working toward their high school diploma. These programs save families time and money, and also open doors to high-demand trades and academic pathways that set students up for long-term success. Over the last 10 years, students have saved $9,162,174 through these courses.
