GATEWAY FOR SUCCESS

LECHS’s GCS Program features Memorandums of Understanding and well-established partnerships with Greenville Technical College (GTC) and North Greenville University (NGU). Thanks to these strong partnerships with GTC and NGU, LECHS’s scholars are taking and earning full-credit college courses, including: Medical Terminology, Criminal Justice, English 101&102, Marketing, Sociology, Spanish 1&2, College Algebra, Microcomputer Applications, and Computer Science.

At the end of the 2018-2019 academic year, LECHS’s GCS Program continued to witness the successful growth of the dual credit portion of the program. In the prior 2017-2018 academic year, 48 LECHS scholars earned 223 dual credits at GTC and NGU, across 62 classes.

In the 2018-2019 academic year, 73 LECHS scholars earned 401 dual enrollment credits, across 145 classes. Importantly, LECHS’s GCS Program scholars averaged a cumulative dual credit GPA of 3.1 and passed 100% of all 145 dual credit classes taken during the 2018-2019 academic year, providing evidence that GCS Program staff continue to do an excellent job identifying which LECHS scholars are ready for the rigors of college-level work.
