Dear 4K-12 Partners ,
On behalf of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College ( NWTC ), the Early College team is pleased to share the “ NWTC Pathways to College ” annual report , summarizing early college programming for the 2023-2024 academic year .
Even though NWTC primarily serves K4-12 districts throughout Northeast Wisconsin , did you know that we also serve schools in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan ? Further , our virtual programming , called Distance Learning , reaches high school-age Wisconsinites across the state !
In addition to serving an expansive geographic area , NWTC collaborates with K4-12 districts of many sizes . Our smallest partner enrolls just over 60 students while our largest partner enrolls well over 18,000 students each year . It is our privilege to work with so many different types of school districts and develop early college programming that meets community needs .
To that end , last year the number of NWTC credits earned by high school students increased by 5 %, from 28,346 to 29,679 . This equates to approximately $ 5 million dollars of college tuition savings for students , families , and caregivers . In April 2024 , to celebrate dual credit participation , NWTC observed the 2nd Annual Dual Credit Day for high school students and instructors involved with early college programming . We look forward to continuing to honor the hard work of staff and students across the region !
The Early College team will continue working with each school to identify the best dual credit options for your students . We are committed to all students engaging in education that leads to high-wage jobs and meets industry needs . We want students to be proud to be college students while still in high school . We strive for students to experience a cohesive program of courses that lead to a certificate , diploma , or degree .
If you should have any questions , please find the Early College team ’ s contact information on the inside back cover . Thank you for being a strong collaborator . On behalf of NWTC , I hope that you find much to celebrate in the following pages !
Sincerely ,
Dr . Miranda Schornack Manager of Early College
