If your student is interested in taking college courses while they're still enrolled in high school, the Running Start program will let them have access to classes at state community colleges, like Seattle Central.  First things first -- they must be a junior or a senior to participate, and they must have passed the Compass test in order to register.  Registration for Fall 2011 quarter opens up on May 1, 2011, so talk with Ms Sanusi, and check out the details at: http://seattlecentral.edu/runstart/index.php or call: 206-587-3820.
