ACADEMIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MADISON COLLEGE

Prerequisite: Must be a senior and on track to graduate on time

Grade(s): 12

In partnership with Madison College, high school Juniors can apply to join the Education Academy at Madison College. Through a mix of successful completion of Advanced Placement courses, Dual Credit courses (college courses taught at the high school) and classes at Madison College, the Education Academy allows current MHS students to complete a dual enrollment program and earn a high school diploma and half of an Associates Degree in Education from Madison College at the same time. Students in the Education Academy will attend Madison College full time in their senior year.  Interested Juniors are encouraged to take Introduction to Education (GEN9611/2) and/or Teaching in a Pluralistic Society (GEN9711/2) at MHS in their Junior year.  The Education Academy at Madison College is aligned with transfer programs to finish your teacher training. This program is at no cost to students.

Students interested in the Education Academy should complete the scheduling process as usual AND complete an application for the Education Academy. Applications are available online at https://madisoncollege.edu/academics/college-credit-in-high-school/classes-at-mc/academies/education and are due by February 1, 2025 

Student schedules may be re-worked once a student is accepted into the academy.

If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor.

In partnership with Madison College, high school Juniors and Seniors can enroll in the Fire Academy at Madison College. Upon completing both the EMR and Fire Recruit Academies students will be certified for the following:

- Firefighter 1

- Firefighter 2

- Hazardous Materials Operations Level

- Nationally Registered Emergency Responders

- CPR and Early Defibrillation

Students will attend coursework at the Madison College Truax Campus. Students who successfully complete both the Fire Recruit Academy and the Emergency Medication Technician (EMT) courses will earn a Madison College Fire Service Certification Technical Diploma and high school credits. Students are not required to complete both Fire & EMT courses; however, academy program selection may take into consideration if a student is planning to enroll in both semesters. Students must be on track to graduate with strong attendance to enroll in the program. This program is at no cost to students through the Start College Now application process.
