Morehead State University’s Early College Program held its summer faculty meeting with nearly 75 high school personnel that will participate in the 2015-16 school year. More than 50 high and technical schools offered MSU classes with more than 2,000 high school students participating in the program.
Among those attending from Henry County were Melissa Shearer and Linda Sarrett.
Each course offered at the high school has the approximate cost savings of $1,000 per student while also allowing students to graduate from college up to a year sooner.
