Humble High School

Dual Credit Program

2009-2010

Attached is an information sheet that needs to be given to each student in your English II class.

The target student for the dual credit program are those students going into English 3, Pre-Calculus, Biology 2, US History, and Spanish 3.

This would be those students that will be in 11^th grade 2009-2010.

Students may qualify for the dual credit program and receive both high school and college credit while still enrolled in high school.

This information sheet from Kingwood College explains the process and qualifications of the Humble ISD dual credit program.

We urge students to inform and consult their parents on the dual credit program while they are on Christmas break.

Returning from Christmas break, the counselors will begin the 2009-2010 enrollment process. Students will be advised on their options for next year and the student and parent will have the information needed to make the most informed choice.
