JHS adds two new college-credit courses

Jefferson High School has added child development and computer coding to its roster of dual-credit courses this semester, bringing the total to 10.

“For a rural class B school to have 10 dual-credit courses is a cool thing,” said Superintendent Tim Norbeck.

Dual credit means that enrolled students — primarily juniors or seniors — earn credits, typically three, that apply toward both their high school and college graduation requirements.
