(Havre) Havre High Schools dual credit classes have seen huge success in recent times according to reports from the district and from Superintendent Brian Gum.
New Media Broadcasters spoke with Gum, who says that some students are leaving high school with huge amounts of college education already finished.
“We had some students speak at the last board meeting, where they can essentially come out of high school with an associate’s degree almost ready to go. You don’t have that at every town or every high school so that’s a big one”
Average college tuition costs in the state of Montana are thousands of dollars per year, and an associate’s degree typically equates to around two school years or four semesters of college education.
Gum says that late last year, the school district also finished writing their application for a Montana Advanced Opportunities grant, which is money from the Montana Office of Public Instruction meant to support Montana students in pursuing a post-secondary education.
