Running Start
-
Running Start is a program where students take college level courses on a college campus to apply towards high school graduation requirements, in addition to completion of an Associates Degree or General Education Core Requirements in pursuit of a Bachelors Degree. Shadle Park High School partners with the Community Colleges of Spokane and Eastern Washington University.
What are some characteristics linked to success in Running Start?
- At least a 3.0 cumulative high school GPA (you may need to provide additional information to the college if below a 3.0)
- Past experience and success in Honors/AP classes. (This is not a requirement, but it can be a HUGE jump from traditional high school classes to college level courses)
- Successful completion of Algebra 2/ Pre-Calculus. If you have not taken these courses yet, you will need to complete them at Shadle or SVL while accessing Running Start.
- Strong communication skills, time management skills, maturity, independence, organizational skills, and consistent attendance.
- A year long commitment to the Running Start program. (It is VERY hard to transfer back to high school after participating in Running Start since they follow a different calendar/ schedule)
*** Disclaimer: Credits and grades earned through the Running Start Program are NOT WEIGHTED when factored into the high school GPA.
