High School Running Start Program (incoming grade 9)
The change from middle school to high school is a pivotal point in students’ lives. We know that failure in 9th grade is highly predictive of whether a student will graduate from high school. Research shows that students who feel more connected to school feel more motivated, have skills to manage challenges, have better attendance, less behavior problems, and are more likely to graduate. The Running Start Program assists incoming 9th graders with self-assessment, goal-setting and the development of self-regulation and self-management capacities through educational, social and organizational/management skills.
The staff help students understand the educational and life changes that happen from middle school to high school and help students prepare for the challenges they are likely to encounter in 9th grade and later in high school. With the staff’s proactive post-secondary planning guidance, teenagers learn how to set goals, pursue those goals and judge consequences. The administration at each middle school reviews data that indicates a student might be a good candidate for the program (attendance, grades, assessment scores and behavior). With teachers and counselors, each school submits a suggested invitation list to the summer school office, and these students are invited to participate in the Running Start program.

The Early College Program offers high school students an opportunity to earn transferable college credits while still enrolled in high school. The program allows students to take classes at St. Charles Community College (SCC). Participating students will travel to take classes on the SCC campus. While enrolled in the Early College Program, students will take college coursework with textbooks and curriculum taught by SCC professors. For more information, see your high school counselor.

If approved for enrollment, students will complete summer registration at St. Charles Community College during the months of April and May. Students may take up to two college courses during the summer session. Completed courses will appear on high school transcripts if the courses meet the standards outlined in on the FHSD Early College Program website.
