College Credit & Dual Enrollment

Several programs for earning college credit while enrolled in high school are available to sophomores, juniors and seniors who qualify and receive the advance approval of the principal.  Before enrolling for college credit, students should verify that the college or university they plan to attend would accept the credit.  These enrichment classes will be accepted and recorded on the official transcript.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

Students may obtain advanced placement and/or college credit by taking advanced courses and successfully passing the AP exam.  However, there are specific advanced courses, which will prepare students to be successful on the exam.  “AP” notes these courses before the course name.  Interested students should discuss AP options with the counselor and/or course instructor, as there are additional requirements in some areas.  The College Board will charge students taking the AP exam a test fee.  At present time, MRH High School covers the exam cost for students taking MRH High School AP Courses.
