High school sophomores with extra time during their winter break may want to consider the option of applying for the Council Bluffs Community School Districtâs Early College Academy.
âI would encourage all sophomore students to consider this opportunity,â Superintendent Vickie Murillo said. âThe Early College Academy, along with our other Diploma Plus One programs, are designed to propel students forward and prepare them for next steps after high school.â
The program offers high school students the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and an associateâs degree or career-area certificate or credential at Iowa Western Community College during their junior and senior years â at no cost to the student or family. They can still participate in athletics and other activities at their home schools.
