Dual Enrollment (DE) classes provide an opportunity for students to earn both high school and college credit while enrolled in high school.

Dual Enrollment English: Hillsboro High School offers DE English III/IV in partnership with Nashville State Community College (NSCC). Juniors and seniors are eligible to take this class, which is taught by a Hillsboro teacher on Hillsboro’s campus as one of the eight classes on the student’s regular Hillsboro schedule. When a student successfully passes DE English III/IV, they earn high school credit for both English III and English IV as well as college credit at NSCC. DE English is a college-level class and earns advanced academic points (+1.0 on the weighted GPA). For more information, please see Dual Enrollment English Flyer,  Nashville State Dual Enrollment Requirements and the NSCC Dual Enrollment Information.  Please see the information below for requirements and steps for enrolling in Dual Enrollment English III/IV.

Other Dual Enrollment Options: Other DE classes are available on NSCC’s campus and virtually. If students choose this option, they are responsible for the enrollment and registration process and they should contact the NSCC Office of High School Programs and their HHS counselor as soon as possible. Only pre-approved DE coursework will be recorded on the high school transcript.
