Congratulations DE Students!

Congratulations!  When I realized what was happening, I couldn't contain my excitement.  As you should know, you may become eligible for credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Texas at Tyler and other universities for PLTW courses taken in high school, including IED, PoE, DE, and CEA.

Everyone who has taken the EoC passed the exam.  Even more! 24 of our 28 DE students scored a 6 or better out of 9 on the exam, which qualifies for this college credit.  That means that all of our DE students performed significantly better than the national average on this exam.  That is a great reward for all of  your hard work this year, and I am so proud of each one of you.

Letters will go out in the next two weeks to those of you who qualified, and it will outline the process for application of credit.  You would have to pay (usually $200) to the crediting university, and there will be a deadline to make the application.  Credit is not an automatic thing.  Feel free to ask me if I can help with any additional questions.  I will recommend that you check with universities that you plan to attend (or apply) to see how they will handle such credits before you pay out the money for it.

Once again.  Congratulations and thank you for all of the hard work this year. Have a great summer.
