Dual enrollment information session for Hannibal High School students, parents set for Thursday

HANNIBAL, Mo. — Hannibal High School students can now graduate with college credits already under their belts. 

An informational meeting about the dual enrollment program and the dual credit program for sophomores, juniors and seniors is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday in the HHS auditorium.

The dual enrollment program allows students to earn high school credit toward graduation as well as college credit toward their future degree while taking courses on the campus of Hannibal-LaGrange University at a reduced cost.  

The dual credit program is an opportunity for students to get college credit through HLGU or Moberly Area Community College by taking certain classes at Hannibal High School or online through Moberly Area Community College.

Shannon Crist, director of dual credit at Moberly Area Community College, and Joseph Garner, director of concurrent programs at Hannibal-LaGrange, will provide information on their respective programs.  Hannibal High School counselors will be available for questions.  

The dual enrollment program is only for students in their senior year of high school. Dual credit courses are available to seniors and to some juniors and sophomores, depending on the course.  

Online opportunities are available to both juniors and seniors who qualify to take the courses.  

Parents of younger students may choose to attend to plan for the remainder of high school.

For questions, contact JoAnn McCollum, director of guidance, at 573-221-2733.
