Northland High School is a proud participating member of the College Credit Plus Program, a dual enrollment program that allows all college-ready students in grades 7-12 who qualify to begin earning college credit hours before graduating from high school. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students.
Hard worker? Good grades? Ready to earn college credit? Columbus City Schools in conjunction with local colleges offer the opportunity for high school students to earn free college credit while still attending high school. Students and parents must attend a mandatory meeting and complete required paperwork before scheduling any College Credit Plus class. Download flyer for more information.
