Grades 9-11

This is an excellent opportunity for families to be better informed about the variety of academic options available for students prior to selecting courses for the 2024/2025 school year.  

Andrew Wheatley, Director of 7-12 Curriculum, will be showcasing:

• The expansion of the College Credit Plus (CCP) program.  Lakota is adding 6, In-House, College Credit Plus courses that have been specifically selected to benefit a wider range of students.  The new CCP courses will meet the General Education course requirements for most college majors.  This program can assist in reducing the cost of college.
• The academic pathways available to combine College Prep (CP), Advanced Placement (AP) and CCP courses.  
• How to be better prepared for applying to college.

Andrew Wheatley, Director of 7-12 Curriculum, will be showcasing:

• The variety of academic learning pathways designed to prepare students for college.

College Credit Plus (open to grades 7-12)

The district will be adding 6 new College Credit Plus (CCP), in-house, courses for next school year! 

Lakota has partnered with Sinclair College and will be offering the following, in-house, CCP courses beginning with the 2024/2025 school year, in addition to what is currently available in-house facilitated by Cincinnati State.

HS Course Title	College Course Title	College Course Number	Course Length
CCP Statistics	Statistics	MAT 1450	Semester Course
CCP Psychology	General Psychology	PSY 1100	Semester Course
CCP Sociology	Intro to Sociology	SOC 1101	Semester Course
CCP Government	American Federal Government	PLS 1120	Semester Course
CCP Financial Literacy	Personal Finance	FIN 2450	Semester Course
CCP Communication & Literature*	Communication & Literature	COMM 2206 & LIT 2220	Year Long Course

*CCP Communication & Literature will be a yearlong course and include both Interpersonal Communication and Intro to Literature.

These courses are perfect for any student considering continuing their education after high school.  This is an excellent opportunity for a student to earn college credit and high school credit for the same course.  We have worked directly with Sinclair to offer students CCP courses that will meet most General Education course requirements for most college majors.  Taking these courses will not only assist in reducing the cost of college tuition, books, etc. but could potentially allow room in a student’s college schedule to take courses directly connected to their major. 

These new College Credit Plus courses have been selected to provide many students with the opportunity to benefit from the CCP program, not just the students that are currently taking Honors or Advanced Placement courses.
