Running Start Webinar | MSHS

This webinar hosted by the Snoqualmie Valley School District on February 12, 2026, provided detailed information about the Running Start program and dual credit opportunities for high school students. The counselors discussed various options for earning college credit, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, college-in-the-high-school classes, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) dual credit classes. They explained the enrollment process, tuition coverage (noting that tuition is free up to 21 college credits per quarter), and the importance of timely registration due to limited class availability. The session also covered the responsibilities students face when taking college courses, such as managing their own schedules and understanding that college transcripts begin immediately. While no direct procurement or contracting decisions were discussed, the meeting highlighted the district's coordination with local colleges like Bellevue College and Lake Washington Technical Institute to facilitate these educational opportunities.
