SDBOR dual credit enrollment opens Nov 1st for the spring semester! Students can stop by any time starting tomorrow to discuss dual credit course options. A few important items to note:
-Courses can fill fast, so it's best to apply ASAP
-New students/ parents to the dual credit program will need to sign an agreement with the school to be considered
-These are college-level advanced courses, so expect additional time outside of the school day to complete instruction
-Tuition is $78.48 per credit hour plus the cost of materials (MHS does not have access to student billing and thus sole responsibility of payment lies on the parent/student)
Quick link for additional information on the dual credit program: https://ourdakotadreams.com/k12-students/dual-credit/
Please reach out with any questions!

We had a wonderful time learning all about pumpkins and apples! Did you know pumpkin vines can grow really long, and their leaves help guide raindrops down to the roots? We also got to pick apples right from the trees and learn about the hard work that goes into caring for an orchard — like pruning. A big thank-you to Edwin Smith for the fun and educational tour!
