Tarleton already works with more than 350 school districts statewide, including Cleburne, 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 \u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity for our students, especially those considering the study of veterinary medicine in college,\u201d said Dr. Mark McClure, Cleburne ISD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services. \u201cThey will be receiving high school credit and four hours of college credit with successful completion of the course. Students will challenge themselves academically, as the class will reflect the rigor of the college classroom, while also achieving college credit at a reasonable price. It\u2019s a real win-win for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agriculture science teacher Wacey Newman will attend three days of training at Tarleton as the high school\u2019s instructor of the dual-credit class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are excited to add this to the list of dual-credit courses available at the high school and our career and technical education program,\u201d Dr. McClure said. \u201cThis is one more example of the partnership we have with Tarleton, and we are very appreciative of this college-level learning experience for our students.\u201d<\/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 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":" STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Beginning fall 2023, Cleburne High School students can earn university credit before they graduate, thanks to Tarleton State University\u2019s dual enrollment program, Tarleton Today.
