Opportunity

Concurrent Enrollment

Through DPS’ Concurrent Enrollment program, EGHS encourages students to become college students WHILE finishing their high school graduation requirements! This program allows students to enroll in classes/programs of their choice, through partnering schools such as Community College of Denver and Emily Griffith Technical College, in order to:

  • Gain exposure to higher education (rigor, schedule, homework, expectations, etc.)
  • To work on a certificate or trade that will provide students better employment opportunities
  • Complete high school graduation requirements while incurring college credit
  • To become college ‘ready’ through Developmental Education courses
  • To take college courses for minimal cost to the student **

**DPS will pay for these courses as long as the student completes the course(s) and earns a C or higher grade. Please note that students may be required to repay the cost of tuition to their school if they do not pass or withdraw from the class in a timely manner. **Students are responsible for the cost of books, fees, and transportation to these programs (inquire about assistance for these costs with your counselor)
