Dual Credit is a way to obtain high school class credit AND college credit by taking 1 class!
At CCHS, our options are:
- Juniors can take US History Dual Credit with Mr. Dunham.
- Seniors can take English 111 Advanced Composition and English 215 Rhetoric and Argument with an Ivy Tech online professor.
To qualify for these, the school will assess your PSAT scores, ACT/SAT scores, and your GPA going into junior or senior year.
Seniors – YOUR Ivy Tech transcripts will be ready at the beginning of June. CCHS is unable to send that along for you. If you are needing the class codes and grades unofficially beforehand, please request that information from Mrs. Rodriquez.
You must request your official transcript through the link below, “Order your Ivy Tech Transcript”. If you do not, your credits will not transfer or be evaluated for transfer to the college of your choice.

The SpringHill Discovery Project is a 9-month gap year program geared to help young adults figure out their gifts and what they might want to pursue in the future. Each month focuses on a different topic and sphere of cultural influence. Students immerse themselves in subject matter through weekly site visits, discussion, group projects, and reflection. They also volunteer, travel, and learn to live in community.
The Discovery Project is divided into seven areas of cultural influence. Each section is designed to give students hands-on experience through career shadowing, site visits, personal projects, and service opportunities.
- Science + Technology
- Education
- Arts + Entertainment
- Family
- Religion
- Business
- Government
Here are some of the things you’ll get to do if you are a part of the Discovery Project:
- Live in community for nine months.
- Weekly site visits – explore potential careers and ask questions to working professionals in a variety of fields
- Volunteer opportunities at community non-profits, schools, and events
- Weekly Bible study sessions
- Individual and group projects–build a website, perform, pitch a new app idea
- Enhance skills in writing, public speaking, debate, time management, critical thinking, personal budgeting
- Explore the city through walking tours, museum visits, and meetings with community officials
- Cross-cultural travel through an international service trip
- Option to work part-time or in an internship setting
- Mentorship from SpringHill staff and other professionals
“The last several months have been strange, to say the least. Not only are people asking you what your future looks like and expecting you to know, but now they are asking you to know in the midst of a pandemic.
I want you to hear that it’s okay to not know. Truly! Take time to consider who you are outside of your parents home. Take time to consider where you want to be in the next 5 years. Take time to ask what adventure God might have for you. Take time. But don’t waste time. Be intentional with it.
Every one of our students has left Pathway with a deeper understanding of who Jesus is. They have left with more confidence in their identity in Christ. They have left more equipped in work and life skills and to be disciples that make disciples; no matter their future vocation.”
