Special rate for college classes for KGHS students through RCC



KGHS students now have access to a new program called RCC Scholars.  RCC Scholars who receive high school permission from the principal will be eligible to enroll in evening and weekend classes at any RCC site, including the King George site.  Any class starting at 5p.m. or later during the week or all day Saturday will be billed at the special Scholar Rate of $10.00 per credit.  

KGHS offers a significant amount of the coursework needed to complete a degree or certificate but no high school has the entire curriculum for an associate’s degree.  Enter RCC Scholars!  Students who need specific courses to complete the requirements for the associate’s degree or the general education certificate can now complete them at a modest cost.  Other courses and programs, such as EMS, web and game design, general engineering technology, and HVAC, are available without any limit as long as they start 5 p.m. or later, or fall on Saturdays.

Although the fall semester classes began on Monday, August 25, RCC has a 2nd 8-week session that does not begin until Oct. 21, and a number of other late-starting classes, so there are plenty of classes available for students.  RCC will continue to offer College Connection courses to KGHS students this fall as well.  We will announce those courses as soon as we have the details.  The RCC contact for Scholar Rate is our college recruiter and dual enrollment specialist, Hutt Williams, 804-333-6744 or hwilliams@rappahannock.edu.

“Guiding the College-Bound Athlete”

The KGHS Athletic Department has contracted with Dynamite Sports to conduct an hour long seminar entitled “Guiding the College-Bound Athlete” on Monday September 29th at 7:30 p.m. in the King George H.S. Auditorium.

All of our prospective college-bound athletes and their parents are invited to attend this informative and entertaining event.  And although it is NOT mandatory, we would like every athlete that is considering playing college sports to attend along with their parents.  This seminar will help our parents to become more knowledgeable about athletic scholarships and the recruiting process.
