PHS Catalog

CWU College Credit Info

Attached is a condensed list of all CWU College in the High School courses offered at PHS next year. If you are interested in earning college credit along with enhanced high school credits next year, please check out this information before the counselors come out to guide you through the registration process for selecting next year's classes. In most of these courses, except for PE, you can earn more high school credit per class than you would with a regular PHS class even if you don't opt to pay for the CWU college credit. The other dual credit options at PHS are AP courses and Running Start. Please read the course catalog and talk to your counselors for more information if you are interested in those options.
