West Liberty-Salem Local School invites students and parents to learn about the College Credit Plus (CCP) program, which offers opportunities to earn college credit while still in high school—for free! The event is scheduled for February 27th, 2025, from 4:00-6:00 PM. While CCP is available to students in grades 7-12, families are encouraged to carefully consider whether this rigorous program aligns with their student's academic readiness. The earliest students can take a CCP class at WL-S is 10th grade, only for advanced science students, while most students start CCP their junior year. Students wanting to participate in CCP sooner than that must enroll with a local college and take classes online or in person. Please reach out to our HS Counseling Department with any questions.
