The Clare-Gladwin Middle College, a program of the
Clare-Gladwin Career Center, welcomed ten new students this school year. The
Clare-Gladwin Middle College offers a select number of students from local high
schools the opportunity to earn college credits from Mid Michigan Community
College while still in high school. The juniors and seniors spend half of their
school day at their high school and the other half attending classes at Mid.
With limited spots available in the Middle College each
year, Middle College Mentor Candace Opalewski said the selection process is a competitive
one and all of the applicants are interviewed before a decision is made. Factors
taken into consideration during the selection include the types of challenges
the students have faced in their lives, if they have the drive to achieve more
despite their circumstances, if they’ll utilize the support services the Middle
College offers, what their future plans entail, and more.
Opalewski provides the students with tutoring, as well as
extra support and guidance to help them succeed during their first experience
with college courses.
The Clare-Gladwin Career Center is a program of Clare-Gladwin
RESD.
