Indiana College Core (formerly the Statewide Testing General Education Core) ensures students the ability to earn college credits while still in high school.
Through Ivy Tech, Sullivan has 52 students that will be receiving certificates this year.
This includes the trades machine, welding and automotive and technical certificates involving more typical academic disciplines.
“Forty-seven students have committed to walk through graduation ceremonies,” said Southwest School Corp. superintendent Chris Stitzle. “That is very impressive.”
Sullivan High School counselor Katie Couch said that 30 hours of general education credit transfers between public colleges and universities.
“It is a great thing for the kids to get college credit while still in high school, “ she said. “Whether they want to go to college or just graduate and get a job, they still get a chance to learn skills that can help them once they graduate from high school.”
