Advanced Academics & Certifications

Career and College Ready

Big Picture students can earn college credit and industry certifications before they graduate. Both save time and money later. Both show colleges and employers that a student is ready. Our counselors help each student choose what fits the plan they're building.

We offer real options for advanced coursework, including Dual Enrollment (DE) courses, Advanced Placement classes, and industry certifications. Our counselors help every student find the courses that fit their plan and get enrolled.
