College in High School

Boy, a little Fall cleaning of the electronic files and I'm finding a lot of good stuff.
The following is a school that I highlighted previously on another blog and very much worthy of sharing again here. What do you get when you combine a public school, a community college and a hospital?

The Wake Early College of Health and Sciences, a new, hybrid high school and technical college jointly operated by Wake County Public Schools, Wake Technical Community College and WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, NC.

This 5 year school will produce graduates meeting the following high school, college and workplace standards: Watch Video Here.

• High School diplomas
• Internships in Health Care
• Associate degrees in health care related vocations.

Because this is a public high school, students will get a free 2 year college degree and be one year ahead of their peers if they choose to enter college as juniors upon completing the program. If they do not continue on to college, they will have skills and experience in high demand careers that will probably offer starting salaries of at least $20/hour.

Hats off to the Raleigh Public Schools and their partners for finding a true win-win-win solution for educating our children, helping them fulfill their dreams and meeting the present and future needs of society.
