CTE Dual Credit
A CTE Dual Credit course is an instructional partnership between Community Colleges and our Career & Technical Education program. These courses have a signed articulation agreement between Shelton School District (Career and Technical Education) and at least one community/technical college. CTE Dual Credit puts high school students on the pathway to a college education by allowing them to complete technical classes while in high school. Students taking CTE Dual Credit approved classes at their home high schools earn both high school and college credit simultaneously.
A student earning CTE Dual Credit from Olympic College or South Puget Sound Community College must earn a "B" grade or better. Students earning CTE Dual Credit from the Pierce County Consortium (Bates Technical, Clover Park Technical, Pierce College) must earn a "C" grade or better.
Students pay no tuition for CTE Dual Credit classes and because students stay on their high school campus, they still have a full high school experience, even while earning college credit. Interested students should contact their high school counselor.
