Running Start is a program that offers eligible high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take technical or community college courses tuition-free while completing high school. Students who are ready for college-level work may use this opportunity to gain an early start on college or take courses not available through the high school. Grades and credits earned are recorded on both the college and high school permanent transcripts. Students are responsible for transportation and the cost of books and fees. If the student’s family has qualified for the Federal Free/ Reduced Meal Program in the current school year, then they may qualify for assistance with books and lab fees.
