Jackson Center High School Offers 12 Dual Enrollment Options & 2 AP Courses
Dual enrollment has had such a positive impact on my
education. I was able to transfer 21 credit hours,
all taken in high school, to college. This has
helped cut down on costs and time. I am very
thankful that Jackson Center offered dual enrollment,
and would hope that this kind of program is continued
for other students at Jackson Center.

Bowling Green State University
Taking dual enrollment classes in high school was a huge
relief for me when I got to college; I entered as a
sophomore. All of the rest of my friends are
completely bogged down with the max amount of classes,
most of which ones I have already credit for.
Taking the basics in high school definitely helped me
put me ahead of the rest and allowed me extra study time
to focus more on the classes I need to do extremely well
in for my major.

Campbell University, South Carolina
Dual enrollment helped out tremendously with
furthering my education before I even made it to
college! With the dual enrollment credits that I
earned while still in high school, I am a semester
ahead of all the other freshmen at Wilmington
College. This means that I am already
guaranteed to graduate in 3 1/2 years, and if I work
hard, hopefully I can make the 3 1/2 years turn into
3 years. College is not cheap, so getting
ahead while you're still in high school is a very
smart decision and will save you lots of money!
Take dual enrollment classes, you won't regret it!

Jackson Center FCCLA Reaches Out to MH Unit
Jackson Center FCCLA members reached out to the
multi-handicapped unit at their school through a
community service project. The project was titled
“You’ve Got a Friend” and the goal in mind was to make
the MH students feel more part of the student body. On
five different occasions, the students planned simple
activities to do with the kids to help them feel less
isolated and more involved with the student body. The
activities included: coloring pictures for a coloring
contest, preparing a fruit salad, tie dying shirts,
making foam door hangers, and providing a Christmas
party with gifts for the kids. Not only did the MH kids
enjoy the time spent with the FCCLA members, but they
also felt more comfortable and safe around the students.
As said by the teacher for the MH students, “The
hands-on experiences provided to the students with
multiple disabilities were time that the students
enjoyed and looked forward to. This was a great
opportunity for the students to spend time with their
peers while engaging in fun activities.” It was a great
experience for the FCCLA and the MH unit; both sides
commonly gained a heartwarming reward: Friendship.
