How does High School differ from College?  |
| When you enter the 9th grade, everything starts to “count.” All of your freshman courses, grades, and credits will be on your transcript, and your freshman grades will be used to determine your GPA. |
 |
Options after High School  |
| A four year college education, or bachelor’s degree (BA, BS), can open doors, provide status, and prepare students for financially rewarding careers. |
