Gov. Walker Touts Dual Enrollment At Crandon

Jill Zagar

Governor Scott Walker visited Crandon High School Tuesday to talk about education and highlight dual enrollment.

Crandon High School launched dual enrollment program this semester in partnership with the Nicolet Area Technical College. Twenty-five juniors and seniors at Crandon High School are receiving both high school and college credits for taking business courses. The classes are held at Crandon High School and instruction is provided by Nicolet Area Technical College.

In his State of the State Address, Walker announced his commitment to invest an additional $3 million in dual enrollment programs on top of the $4.6 million already invested as a part of the Wisconsin Fast Forward program. This investment will provide grants for high school students involved in training program partnerships. These partnerships include dual credit academies, work-based learning programs, and pre-apprenticeship models.
