Butte College Connection
Butte College Connection is an exciting program that allows seniors to spend their final year of high school on the Butte College campus. Students complete their high school requirements through a mix of class time and independent study while also taking Butte College classes each semester, typically earning around 22 college units.
It's a great chance to explore interests, get a head start on general education credits, and experience college life in a supported environment before officially becoming a freshman. Email Kris Hahn for more information: KHahn@chicousd.org
