Westmoreland is able to offer College in High School (CHS) credit for all Indiana County High School students for $60 per credit. In previous years, Indiana County high school students paid $120 per credit when they completed college level classes taught by teachers in their high school.

“We are so pleased to bring this savings to our students in Indiana County,” said Tuesday Stanley, president, Westmoreland County Community College. “We are focused on giving students a jump on their college degree and the College in High School program provides this.”

Three Indiana County schools currently participate in the program.  The participating schools include, Indiana Area High School, United High School and Apollo-Ridge High School. “Westmoreland is working with these schools and we hope to include other high schools in the county in the months ahead.”

“Today’s announcement is a huge gain for our county students to be able to not only be a participant as a student in higher education, but Westmoreland has afforded the students of Indiana County the opportunity to take advantage of their future careers. We as Indiana County commissioners are very proud to be a part of this,” said Indiana County Commissioner, Chair Michael Keith.

Westmoreland made this announcement prior to the annual Advisory Committee meeting for the Westmoreland – Indiana County Center.
