St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School announces it is partnering with Columbus State University to expand its Move on When Ready dual enrollment program that allows high school students to earn college credits while working on their high school diplomas. St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School will begin offering Social Studies courses with CSU this school year, and hopes to increase offerings in the future. St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School will continue to offer English dual enrollment courses through Georgia Military College, and has added Math dual enrollment courses to its GMC offerings. St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School 11th and 12th graders who apply and meet the requirements for these programs will now be able to combine dual enrollment course offerings, taking Social Studies with CSU and English and/or Math with GMC.
