take courses at Clark College as a part of their high school program. 

 Successful completion of college level courses (numbered 100 and

 above) yields college credit and can also be used to satisfy high school

 requirements.  *Subject to limitations noted in the "About Running

 Start" powerpoint.

         The links at the right describe procedures, policies, and tips for

 successful participation in the program.  Students and parents are asked

 to review all information before contacting the PHS Counseling Center. 

         Running Start information nights are offered in January at Clark

 College for anyone interested in participating. After a student passes the

 Compass test, he/she and a parent/guardian will need to attend a mandatory

 orientation at Clark College and also one at Prairie High School before
 
forecasting for classes.

          After reviewing all information in this site, student and/or parents can

 contact their counselor with Running Start questions.  This should be done

 before school, after school, during STAT or via e-mail.
