awards when we started early college we knew from the beginning that we wanted to be in intentional about recognizing the academic effort that our students make and it's really something that's easy

these things balanced and still come out and perform uh with amazing academic rigor on these college classes our students begin taking college classes as sophomores at the end of their ninth grade year uh they begin to test into college classes so our ninth graders this year May 22nd May 23rd will be taking the accuplacer to test into college algebra and College English and they handle us uh
