School Counts! is proud to be part of the partnership between our local school districts and UACCM to help our students with tuition assistance as a School Counts! graduate or an eligible concurrent student. We currently have 111 concurrent students who are getting a jump start on their secondary education. Leading up to our School Counts! Week in April, we will be showcasing a few of the students who are taking advantage of this partnership.

Current Concurrent Class?

Composition I at UACCM

Why did you enroll in a concurrent class? 

I enrolled to help finish some of my basics required, free of cost.

What is your possible career goal? 

I am undecided but I have an interest in the psychology field.

Do you think concurrent classes are a good idea? 

Yes! They help prepare students for actual college by allowing them to experience the college atmosphere, and to get a feel for the expectations of professors.

I am a twin!

What do you like about living in Conway County? 

It is a small community, and a closely knit one.
