As a small, rural school, we have limited funds and available programming to offer our students who seek to challenge themselves and be competitive college applicants. The College Now program has enabled our students to be challenged and competitive while pursuing their desired college and career goals. A frequent comment from LCS grads home from college is how the College Now courses brought them up to the same academic confidence level as students in their classes from larger and more affluent high schools.

School Counselor, Laurens Central School
College Now courses have benefited our students significantly. The long-term cost savings have been noted by many of our graduates. Having students challenge themselves by taking college-level courses while in high school is a great way to prepare them for the college experience, while at the same time allowing them to earn credits toward their degree.
