New Adams City High School to host community college courses

(COMMERCE CITY, CO – July 9, 2009) Community college courses will be offered at the new Adams City High School this fall. Adams 14 has partnered with Front Range Community College to offer Basic Composition, Computer-Aided Drafting, English Composition, General Psychology I and II, and Humanities: Early Civilizations.

Courses are scheduled in the late afternoons and evenings to accommodate daytime work schedules. They will also be affordable, led by qualified college faculty and small enough to facilitate significant student-teacher interaction. Youth and adult students are eligible to enroll and classes start on August 24.

“We are excited to offer these courses with Front Range,” said Superintendent Sue Chandler. “They help expand the educational opportunities available within Adams 14. This is the first time such classes have been offered to adults in our community. It’s a great way for adults to gain marketable skills for their careers.”

Adults who wish to register or learn more about these courses can do so at two upcoming one-stop workshops.

Friday, July 17, 3 to 7 p.m. – Adams 14 Educational Support Services, 5291 E. 60th Ave.
Saturday, August 15, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. – Adams City High School, 7200 Quebec Parkway. Come to a one-stop workshop to apply, take a free course assessment, meet with an advisor and register for class.
