Empowering Futures: A New Route for Vashon High School Seniors
AYP – Committed to empowering individuals through literacy, achievement, and educational advancement
Saint Louis Public Schools is proud to highlight an exciting opportunity for students at Vashon High School. Through a partnership with St. Louis Community College (STLCC), 14 Vashon seniors are currently enrolled in a college-level English course at The Harrison Center, allowing them to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously.
This dual enrollment initiative is designed to provide students with a head start on their college education while equipping them with the skills needed for success beyond high school. By engaging in rigorous coursework at the collegiate level, students gain valuable experience in a supportive environment that prepares them for future academic and career endeavors.
Expanding Opportunities for 2025-2026
Building on this successful collaboration, Vashon leadership, in coordination with the SLPS College and Career Readiness (CCR) department and STLCC, is working to expand programming for the 2025-2026 school year. Possible course additions currently being explored include:
Advanced Mathematics – Strengthening analytical and problem-solving skills for students pursuing STEM careers.
Business – Offering foundational knowledge in entrepreneurship, management, and finance.
Cyber Security – Preparing students for careers in technology and digital security.
Early Childhood Education – Providing insights into child development and careers in education.
As we continue to grow these opportunities, we remain committed to providing our students with the resources and experiences that set them up for lifelong success. More details about expanded dual enrollment offerings will be shared as plans are finalized.
