Wahconah Adds Early Childhood as Dual Enrollment Course
DALTON, Mass. — Wahconah Regional High School is now offering a dual enrollment course in early childhood.
The district has had an ongoing relationship with Berkshire Community College to offer dual enrollment so students can earn college credit. Students receive both high school and college credit.
The course will be under the guidance of career and guidance facilitator Catherine Grady and
Principal Aaron Robb. The course is currently available to Grades 10 through 12.
The School Committee was told last week that there are 30 students signed up to participate.
Participating high schoolers will be required to do 20 internship hours in the preschools at Kittredge Elementary School and Becket Washington School.
Through the coursework and internship they will develop job skills such as how to communicate effectively with teachers and students, and what it means to be a leader in an educational community, said school officials.
Since Wahconah does not have a preschool, the district will provide transportation for the internships.
