Each Hillsboro School District high school provides opportunities for students to access college level learning opportunities through either Advanced Placement courses, International Baccalaureate courses, or dual credit opportunities in partnership with area colleges and universities. These programs and courses allow students to experience rigorous learning opportunities at the college level within the supportive environment of their high school, reducing gaps in college access and academic achievement. This can help students with a smoother transition into post-secondary schooling by enabling them to earn college credit and prepare for college level expectations. These college level opportunities can often result in college credit that can be transferred towards the post-secondary degree or certificate.
Additional information and resources about college level opportunities and transferability can be found at the Higher Education Coordinating Commissions website:
