Under this state program most courses 100 and above at the
community college may be counted for both college and high school
credit simultaneously. There is no tuition for the classes. Students
are expected to purchase their own books and materials and pay lab fees.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and lunches.
Failed college class grades become a permanent part of the
college and high school transcripts. Failed college classes could
jeopardize high school graduation. Running Start students are eligible
to participate in extracurricular activities at both the college and
high school. Eligibility for Running Start is determined by a
student's performance on the AccuPlacer test or Asset test which tests English
and math skills.
If you are interested in Running Start pick up a
Running Start brochure in the Career Center and see your high
school counselor for further details. If you hope to participate in Running Start
you must do your course planning as if you were going to MTHS
full time. Your schedule will be adjusted at a later date.
