A clear plan to earn college credit while you're still in high school. This design allows you to take college credit classes while still having a more traditional high school experience as students will participate in extracurricular activities.

Dual credit classes are offered in eight-week sessions starting in the 9th grade year where students will be core complete (45 credit hours) by the end of their senior year. 

Specific classes, which can be found below, will be taught by Hill College faculty and are 100% in-person. A college readiness faculty member, a faculty liaison, and a Hill College navigator will be provided to each participating high school. 

Sample Course Schedule

**Please note that this is a sample of what classes could look like. All courses offered by both the ISD and Hill College could be moved around pending scheduling.**
