Attention parents of all Harlan County High School students:

Harlan County High School students have an opportunity to gain a head start on college by enrolling in dual credit classes. We are working with Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College faculty to provide face-to-face instruction with this jump start on college. College is expensive and this is a great opportunity for you and your child as the dual credit classes are offered at no cost or a greatly reduced fee.  There will be a presentation on the program at 10 a.m. on Monday, August 10, at HCHS. For more information on the dual credit classes call Kathy Napier at 574-2020.

The Harlan County Schools system strives to meet the educational needs of all students. As a result, Harlan County High School has a series of programs designed for dropout prevention. The programs include e-school out of school, online courses, e-school lab, independent study courses, extended school services , PLATO, secondary GED and Credit Recovery.  The programs provide one-on-one individualized help, mentoring, daily counseling and extra class time.  Parents get involved in your child’s education and learn more about these opportunities. For more information call Kathy Napier at 574-2020.
