Beginning in January 2025, District 186 and Lincoln Land Community College are working together to offer programming designed for students to experience a more immersive college preparation experience as part of the school day. This is called College Now. Participation in College Now is a great way for students to be challenged in their learning and get a head start on their college education. College Now is available to District 186 high school seniors who want to either pursue a career track after high school or plan to transfer to a university. The district believes that for students to have access to these opportunities close to home makes sense, and potentially enrolling at a two-year community college may be a smart financial choice.
Students interested in enrollment in the College Now classes must be a second semester senior, have an 85% or better attendance rate through the first semester of the senior year, be on track and scheduled with all necessary credit requirements to graduate from 186, and maintain a high level of motivation and adequate time to devote to a college-level class. The students must meet all college criteria and follow all college procedures for enrolling in any courses. Ultimately, students must receive approval from their high school guidance administrator to attend LLCC’s College Now program.
Interested District 186 students and their parents both, are required to attend a mandatory informational meeting next Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 6:00 P.M. The meeting will be held at Lincoln Land’s Medical District Facility located at 130 West Mason Street, room 204
And now the Pledge of Allegiance!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
