Economic Development Award New program brings college to high school students

BY NANCY SPENCER DHI Media Editor [email protected] Ohio high school students will have more opportunity to complete college-level courses and receive high school and college credit at the same time. The College Credit Plus program encompasses the Post Secondary Enroll- ment Options program and in many cases will allow the student to stay at their high school and receive instruction alongside their classmates while earning the extra college credit. Jefferson High School has three college credentialed staff members, including Judy Bevington (math), Josh Vasquez (English) and Missy McClurg (accounting, business and computer). “The valuable thing we are doing for the 2015-16 school year is our students will be able to take our of- fered college courses on our campus and will taught by our teachers,” High School Guidance Counselor Martin Ross said. “Students who take these courses will not have to travel or use online course offerings.” Jefferson has partnered with Rhodes State College for eight courses, including College Algebra, English Com- position, Public Speaking, Creative Writing - Fiction, Corporate Accounting Principal, Computer Apps in the More eco dev recognition for Van Wert Workplace, Personal Finance and First Year Experience. COllEGE/16 Recognition was given at a ceremony Thursday for northwest Ohio cities earning special mention in economic development awards. The reception was hosted by the City of Findlay and Hancock County and was held at the Findlay Country Club.
