Collegiate High School (CHS) helps students earn an associate degree while simultaneously completing a high school diploma. Students save time and money on higher education. College of the Mainland (COM) waives 40 percent of tuition and fees for CHS students. 

CHS is an exciting place for responsible, mature teens who are ready for the academic challenge of college-level courses. Students entering this program are considered college students. High school procedures will not be followed in the college classes and college professors follow their own grading and attendance procedures. Professors do not send progress reports and other parental notifications home. Students must be mature and self-motivated to be successful. Dickinson High School will require a student determined to be unsuccessful in the Collegiate High School Program to return to Dickinson High School in order to ensure high school graduation.

The Collegiate Application is closed for the 2023-24 school year. Collegiate High School Applications for 2024-25 will be released following Parent University in Spring 2024. Please attend one of the information sessions at Parent University if interested in Collegiate High School for the 2024-25 school year.


Dual Credit is a program that allows high school students to enroll in college classes for credit prior to high school graduation that can be applied towards high school and college graduation.

Dual Credit Registration is closed for the 2023-2024 school year. Attend a dual credit session at Parent University in Spring 2024 if interested in registering for the 2024-2025 school year.
