High school courses may get credit at Ga. technical colleges

Washington-Wilkes Comprehensive High School students who enter a technical college within two years of high school graduation may be eligible for college credit based on courses they took in high school.

"Articulation" allows high school students to transfer credit for certain high school course work to technical colleges in Georgia. This keeps students from duplicating work or from sitting in classes they have already taken at the high school level. Articulation saves students time and money.

Articulation links high schools to technical colleges and facilitates a seamless transition from one level to another. A student who has successfully completed a high school course with an 85 percent or better grade may be eligible for articulated college course credit. Courses have been identified in the areas of accounting/ business/marketing, allied health/health occupations, and family and consumer sciences/early childhood education.

Don Bridges, counselor, and Lou Bentley, CTAE supervisor, are working together to promote tech prep and articulation at W-WCHS. They have met with junior and senior advisement groups to make students aware of their opportunities to earn college credit for courses they have taken at W-WCHS. For more information, contact either of them at W-WCHS.
