Dual Credit

Garden City High School has no jurisdiction over the content of the curriculum taught, how the instruction is delivered/graded or how the grade is calculated.

You are signing up for a dual credit course and it will in turn be taught at a college level pace and curriculum. It is the expectation of Garden City High School that you put in extra time and effort to successfully complete this upper level course.

Students who find themselves in an academically dishonest situation (giving/receiving answers to others, using the internet to find answers, etc) will receive consequences from the college you are attending; as well as Garden City High School.  GCHS does not have authority to determine what college consequences will be given but will support the college in their decision.
