Dear Students, Parents & Guardians,
We are thrilled to announce a fantastic opportunity for our students at Wachusett Regional High School (WRHS)! In collaboration with Worcester State University, Wachusett will be offering a series of no-cost Early College and Dual Enrollment courses. Below you will find a brief description of each opportunity, how to apply, and where to get your questions answered.
Early College Courses:
Early College courses are an incredible opportunity for students to earn college credit while still in high school. These courses will be held during Worcester State University's Summer II session and will consist of four engaging subjects. Please note that Early College courses exclusively offer college credit. High School credit will not be awarded for these Early College courses.
Dual Enrollment Pilot for the Class of 2025:
In addition to Early College, Wachusett is also launching a Dual Enrollment pilot program. We will begin with a science course (Anatomy & Physiology), allowing students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. Dual Enrollment allows students to experience the rigor of college-level coursework at Wachusett, while still receiving support from our high school environment.
Questions and Assistance:
If you have any questions about these programs or need assistance with the application process, please don't hesitate to reach out to Dr. DeMarco, our College, Career, Pathway Specialist, at becki_demarco@wrsd.net. She will be more than happy to assist you with any inquiries you may have.
This is an exceptional opportunity for our students to get a head start on their college education and explore new academic horizons. We encourage all interested students to apply as soon as possible to secure their spot.
