STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 <\/em>Beginning fall 2023, Jarrell High School students can earn university credit before they graduate, thanks to Tarleton State University\u2019s dual enrollment program, Tarleton Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton and Jarrell Independent School District leaders signed the agreement in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis newest partnership furthers our commitment to educational attainment for all<\/em> Texans,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cEarning university credit while still in high school will give these students a jump-start on their post-secondary degree while saving them time and money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton already collaborates with more than 350 school districts statewide, including Jarrell, through its nationally acclaimed Distinguished High School Partners outreach. Launched in 2020, the program guarantees admission and provides annual scholarships to qualifying seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students participating in Tarleton Today take university courses over a traditional school year, receiving the high school portion of their instruction from their high school teacher and the university portion from a Tarleton professor. In addition to course content, Tarleton faculty empower students with university-ready skills and provide professional development for collaborating teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton is developing dual enrollment opportunities in agricultural and STEM areas with school districts throughout Texas. Districts will choose the courses they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur mission at Jarrell ISD is to educate the whole child. Partnering with Tarleton State University to allow our career, technical and education students to earn college credits is essential to their success and further fulfills our mission,\u201d said Jarrell ISD Superintendent Dr. Toni Hicks. \u201cOur students will greatly benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dual enrollment classes use the same lesson materials and learning objectives as courses taught at a Tarleton campus. Students who continue their education at Tarleton automatically qualify for additional scholarships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
