CAHS 10th grade students participated in a career related tour of Mott Community College at the beginning of second semester. The tour was organized to introduce students to possible science, technology, engineering, and math, STEM, fields.  Students were divided to 4 groups and were taken on four different dates. They visited various STEM related sites such as 3-D Fabrication laboratory, auto mechanic shop, health sciences lab with life like manikins, and several other places on campus.  Students then reflected on their career related experience upon their return to the high school.

As you may have heard, we have several opportunities for dual enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year for our students.  Dual enrollment offers students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit for courses with very little cost to students.  As an example, the cost of twelve credits at the University of Michigan-Flint is approximately $5,600. Carman-Ainsworth High School will pay for the majority of these courses. The cost for our students would be around $1,500 plus the cost of textbooks which is a significant savings for our families. Courses at Mott Community College are typically fully covered by the school through dual-enrollment funding. There are three programs offered through UM-Flint for 2015-2016 for our 3.0 GPA and above 12^th graders:  Pre-Engineering, Medical Sciences, and Fine Arts. In addition, we are offering a program through Mott Community College that includes ASL (American Sign Language) and social studies/humanities courses that are transferable to most Michigan colleges.

A Parent Informational meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 4^th at 6:30 p.m. in the high school media center.
