Tri-County Tech Recognizes Connect to College Graduates

Spring 2013 high school graduates through Tri-County Technical College’s Connect to College program are pictured here, from left to right, Ashley “Nicole” Kelly (Belton Honea Path High School), Trey Hall (T.L. Hanna High School), Layne Kelley (T.L. Hanna High School), Nicole Holinko (Seneca High School), Brittany Long (Seneca High School), Lyndsay Bailey (D.W. Daniel High School), and Matthew “Dillon” Simmons (Pickens High School).

The program’s purpose is to serve academically capable youth age 17 to 20 who, for various reasons, have not been successful in a traditional high school environment but who have career goals that require postsecondary education. Using a dual credit model, students earn both high school and college credit and may simultaneously complete both the high school diploma (meeting all requirements of the South Carolina Department of Education) and a postsecondary credential (meeting all requirements of Tri-County Technical College).
