Trinity Valley Community College Director of Dual Credit Kelley Townsend and Pinnacle Early College High School Dean Nicole Cornish were featured presenters at the North Texas Community College Consortium (NTCCC)’s 2019 Early College High School Dual Credit Conference, March 1 at the Region 11 Education Service Center in White Settlement.

The duo of Townsend and Cornish presented Turn Dual Credit and HVAC into a High Performing Machine.  Their session provided an outline of the collaboration between TVCC and Athens High School with the successful HVAC program.  Attendees gained knowledge about funding for a successful program, incorporating a full HVAC certificate and NCCER certificate into dual enrollment, and a pathway to college credit for students who do not want to attend a university.
