Dual Enrollment

What is Dual Enrollment?

Dual enrollment provides students the unique opportunity to take community college classes while still in high school.

Dual enrollment – enables high school students to take college courses, taught by college professors, at their high school campus. These courses can also count toward your high school diploma, allowing students to get a head start on their higher education goals.

Concurrent Enrollment – enables students to take community college courses on the college campus with other community college students. 

GHS is partnered with East Los Angeles College for our Dual Enrollment Program, these courses are only open to Garfield High School Students.
