Edison and Greenville
High School renew articulation agreements
Officials from Edison Community College and Greenville High School
recently renewed four early college credit articulation agreements.
According to these updated agreements, students in engineering,
information technology, financial services, and supply chain management
can earn college credit for their work through Greenville High School’s
Career-Tech Education program.
Greenville teachers and Edison instructors work together to raise the
level of high school students’ work to meet college standards and to
award college credit to students who meet these standards. Greenville
High School’s Career-Tech Education program, along with the new
state-wide College Credit Plus program for academic subjects, provide
excellent opportunities for high school students to get a jump-start on
their college career.
“These articulation agreements provide a huge opportunity to the
students of Greenville Career-Tech Education Center,” said Chad
Beanblossom, Executive Director of the Darke County Center. “Credit
earned through these articulations and College Credit Plus can amount
to thousands of dollars in savings for students and their parents.”
Replacing the Post-Secondary Educational Opportunity Program (PSEOP) in
fall semester of 2015, College Credit Plus offers a unique opportunity
for students to enhance and further their educational and career
objectives while still in high school. Students can earn college and
high school credit concurrently, accelerating their college careers at
no cost at Edison Community College. Credits are easily transferable to
public and private universities nationwide.
Edison’s Darke County Center is located at 601 Wagner Avenue in
Greenville and offers a wide variety of courses along with quality
student services. For more information, call 937-548-5546. The Darke
County Center is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
“Edison’s Darke County Center is currently working on program options
that can be completed entirely in Darke County, many of which align
seamlessly with programs offered through Greenville Career-Tech
Education Center,” added Beanblossom.
Greenville High School’s Career-Tech Education program provides
students with 21st Century skills to further their education and/or
enter the workforce. Students of the program learn through
project-based and hands-on learning, have the opportunity to earn
college credits and scholarships, and are provided job shadowing and
other on-the-job experiences to prepare them for a successful future.
