Explore Dual Enrollment

Dual enrollment provides high school students with opportunities to take college-level courses and earn college credit, all paid for by the Putnam County School District. Through partnerships with two local colleges, students who meet program requirements can participate in high school campus, college campus and online coursework, depending upon their grade level and the program.

Dual enrollment is available at the following schools:

  • Crescent City Jr.-Sr. High School

  • Interlachen Jr.-Sr. High School

  • Palatka Jr.-Sr. High School
