We over dual credit to our students through our partnership with Northeastern Technical College.

Throughout the year we will need information from you, the parent. We also support our students by assisting them with their IGP, college application(s), and completing FAFSA. Please contact us if you have any questions, we are eager to help.

If my child goes to Northeastern Technical College they will use up all of their PELL Grant.
Students attending Northeastern Technical College who attend classes in the 9 through the 12 grade will only use 2 years of the PELL Grant money. PELL offers students funding for six years. However if a child finishes a four year college in 4 or less years the money does not roll over. If the student doesn't use the extra 2 years for high school credit they will lose it. This is free money to you, the student to pay for college.
