Waco Independent School District will begin online dual-credit classes in the fall in response to students’ requests to increase higher-level courses at both high schools. The online credit is part of a joint program between Waco ISD and McLennan Community College that will allow students to earn up to 18 college credit hours by the time they graduate high school, said Scott McClanahan, the district’s director of secondary advanced academics. Students who complete the necessary requirements in high school will automatically be enrolled at MCC the following summer to allow them to complete an associate’s degree within the following year, McClanahan said.
