ACE courses are challenging and equivalent in content and rigor to courses offered at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College. Courses are intensive and often require more time and work than high school courses. However, the reward of graduating from high school with college credits is certainly worth the extra effort.
All capable and committed students are encouraged to consider enrolling in the ACE courses offered at their high school.Please speak with your high school guidance counselor for more information about the ACE courses offered at your high school. |
