Dual Enrollment Information - Testing & Registration


Dual enrollment is designed for academically talented students who want to accelerate their college careers.  Dual enrollment students receive both high school and college credit upon successful completion of a dual enrollment course. Ninth and tenth grade students may only take courses offered at the high school campus.  Next year, we plan to offer the following courses:  English Composition I & II, World Literature I & II, Intro to Psychology, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, & Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry.

Students must:
  • Have a cumulative unweighted 3.00 GPA for academic courses;
  • Be recommended by a high school counselor;
  • Have qualifying PERT, ACT, or SAT scores;
  • Enroll in approved dual enrollment courses (no PHCC college prep (remedial), physical education or applied music courses), and;
  • Complete and submit all necessary paperwork prior to end of school year (June 4th).

Pasco-Hernando Community College (PHCC) will be on our campus on Tuesday, March 5 to administer the PERT to 9th & 10th grade students who are interested in taking DE classes next year and meet the GPA requirement. Paperwork must be completed by Wednesday, February 27 to take advantage of this opportunity. Juniors will be PERT tested by AHS staff during the week of March 4th. Students will have to go to PHCC to test or take the ACT or SAT to meet the test requirement if they miss this testing window.

Please contact Mrs. Evangelista, School Counselor, at (727) 246-3076 if you are interested in this program.  Students can pick up necessary paperwork from her in her office, room 3-126.
