College in the School (CIS)

Through our partnerships with area colleges and universities, Hancock High School is able to offer 10th, 11th and 12th grade students the opportunity to take college level courses here in the high school that are taught by our teachers (dual-enrollment). There are specific requirements set by the participating schools for each class. Students will earn both high school credit and college credit if they pass the class and meet all requirements.

Students insterested in a CIS course for college credit must meet the requirements for the class in order to receive credit. Requirements are set by the institutions and we have no ability to override their decision regarding qualifying students for credit.
