The program allows RHS juniors and seniors to take a full-time, 12 credit, college course load at MHCC during the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Students earn dual credit toward their high school diploma and their desired college certificate or degree.
  • Senior Inquiry: a dual credit program through Portland State University (PSU). Students are exposed to an academically rigorous course of study team-taught by Reynolds High School instructors and PSU professors. This is a two-period offering that will afford successful completers the opportunity to earn up to 15 PSU credits.
  • Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID): offered to students to support their four-year college readiness. Students learn academic preparedness, essay writing, and are prepared to apply to colleges and universities during their senior year. The AVID program serves around 525 students each year.
