College Connections/ Logan Early College
What is the Logan Early College Cohort?
Logan Early College (formerly called College Connections) is a unique partnership between NHUSD and Ohlone Community College.
The Logan Early College Cohort gives high school Seniors and Juniors the opportunity to complete their high school education while taking Ohlone classes.
Early College Cohort students take three high school classes at James Logan High School in the morning and college classes of their choice in the afternoon or evening. This gives students the opportunity to get a head start on college and learn to navigate a college environment.
