Tri-County Tech's Connect to College Graduates

December 2012 high school graduates through the Connect to College program at Tri-County Technical College celebrated their success following the ceremony held December 13 at the College’s Pendleton Campus. 

Pictured here, from left to right, are Jake Eder (Pendleton High School); Colin Roberts (T.L. Hanna High School); Kayla Johnson (Easley High School); Dylan Goodwin (Pickens High School); and Ashley Donald (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).
