GREENWOOD, Ind. – Center Grove High School (CGHS) honored 119 seniors for earning college degrees or certificates through the school’s Early College (EC) program during a ceremony last week.
Through the EC program, students can take courses that earn credit toward both high school and college at the same time.
Center Grove High School’s commencement ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, June 5, at 1:00 p.m. in the CGHS Ray Skillman Football Stadium.
Every member of this year’s class of 125 earned more than 15 college credits. In total, this year’s EC seniors earned 6,543 college credit hours, which is a savings of approximately $1,072,659 in
college tuition.
The Early College program is open to all CGHS students. Students are selected for the program based on their reading level, grades, and recommendations. The program admits approximately 110 students per year. Students take all of their core classes with the EC faculty and other EC students in a small learning community. This structure increases collaboration between faculty and leads to increased accountability and attention to students.
