Running Start Student and Parent Information Session Schedule
Running Start (RS) is a statewide partnership between colleges and local high schools. Running Start (RS) allows high school juniors and seniors to take classes at the college tuition-free. Students earn both high school and college credit at the same time. The high school pays for the college credits, which saves families money as students begin their college careers.
