College Courses for HS Seniors starting soon at Chemeketa

Hi Everyone,

We recently had a meeting with area HS Administrators, some HS Counselors, and some ASPIRE staff.  We had one Counselor ask whether Chemeketa Yamhill Valley might offer a couple classes that would be ideal for local HS Seniors who have several open periods in the afternoon and are filling these as Office Aid or other non-academic duties. 

Myself and others thought that this was a great idea.  Personally, I had a half day of woodshop my entire senior year in high school and my teacher usually let me leave 1-2 hours early. 

Starting for Spring term (this April) the Yamhill Valley campus will begin offering some two credit college level elective courses that could transfer directly into a Bachelor’s degree or count toward the Community College Associate of Arts Transfer Degree. 

I will attach some information about the course we are offering spring term that I think would be appropriate.  The course is CG 123: Community Service Leadership and I am the instructor. 

I will also attach the Underage Admission Form that HS Seniors would need to complete in order to take classes here before high school graduation.

Please be in touch if you would like more information or have questions.  I will be in touch again with information on other courses offered in future terms.
      
Best Regards,
