Thank you Ivy Tech and thank you South Putnam teachers for providing classes that allow our students to earn so many credits. We’ve had significant growth this school year, because we added Early College courses in math, science and English on top of our very successful existing AP and dual credit programs. Ivy Tech also worked to offer our students on-campus courses in psychology and communication. This partnership helps us ensure our students are prepared for their next steps after high school.
