The PACE program at Horry-Georgetown Technical College offers opportunities for high-school juniors and seniors, as well as private and home-schooled students, to get a head start on college courses. Upon hearing about PACE, Joseph immediately decided to take advantage and enrolled in a college level Calculus course his senior year of high school. He knew that this would be a great way to give him a better chance of getting into his ideal 4-year university.
Joseph’s base high school, Conway Christian School, provided him with the HGTC application and information needed to enroll. He then visited campus and was able to sign up for the class he wanted. Joseph admits that while PACE classes are more difficult than high school, they are boosting his GPA and saving him money down the road.
Joseph has currently been accepted into several colleges around the country and looks forward to a career in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. He accredits his college preparedness not only to the positive challenges PACE offered but also to taking a class on an actual college campus. Joseph highly recommends the PACE program to any high school student looking for a great way to jump start their educational future.
Congratulations, Joseph, on being chosen as HGTC’s March Student Spotlight!
