STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Beginning this fall, Boerne 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 Boerne Independent School District leaders signed the agreement in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTarleton Today proclaims our commitment to make transformative postsecondary opportunities accessible to all <\/em>students,\u201d said university President James Hurley. \u201cDual enrollment programs give high school students the momentum they need to earn a higher education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarleton already works with nearly 120 school districts statewide, including Boerne, serving more than 330 high schools 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 \u201cWe are excited about this partnership with Tarleton that will benefit our students and their families,\u201d said Dr. Thomas Price, Boerne ISD Superintendent. \u201cTarleton has a rich history of academic and extracurricular success, and we\u2019re proud to work together with university leaders to give our students the opportunity to take advantage of the dual enrollment program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarleton is developing dual enrollment opportunities in agricultural and STEM areas with school districts throughout Texas. Districts 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 this fall, Boerne High School students can earn university credit before they graduate, thanks to Tarleton State University\u2019s dual enrollment program, Tarleton Today.
