Why Celebrate Dual Credit?

Students get a head start on their college education, saving time and money while challenging themselves with college-level coursework. Many also end up doing better after high school in college.

High school counselors and teachers provide guidance, encouragement, and the resources students need to succeed. Many teachers also play a vital role in instructing dual credit classes, helping students get a head start on their college education. Parents play a vital role in supporting and motivating their students every step of the way. KCTCS faculty and staff create engaging learning experiences and ensure a smooth transition from high school to college.
