Haywood County Schools Mission Statement

“The mission of Haywood County Schools, in partnership with families and community, is to

ensure an engaging, respectful, and safe environment where all students are

empowered with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue post-secondary

opportunities.”

Post Secondary

A reference to any education beyond high school. “The importance of postsecondary education has increased significantly in the last decade. A high school diploma is no longer sufficient in the 21st century. In order to be successful in today’s global economy a person must receive some form of postsecondary education. And, the economic stability of the state is tied to citizens who are employed and productive.”

-National Conference of State Legislatures

Early Post Secondary Opportunities EPSO’s

Early postsecondary opportunities (EPSOs) include a course and/or exam that gives students a chance to obtain postsecondary credit while still in high school.

Benefits of Dual Enrollment

• Earn high school credit and college credit

• Experience higher academic standards and rigor while still receiving guidance

If a student uses their DE grant 1 and DE grant 2 with the same institution, that institution will provide a scholarship for any remaining balance that the student may have for courses three and four.

Dual Enrollment Grant

To qualify for the TN Dual Enrollment Grant, a student must be a junior or senior in high school, lived in Tennessee for one year prior to applying for the grant, and maintained at least a 2.75 GPA in all previous dual Enrollment coursework.
