Students at two Fresno Unified campuses will soon be able to take their high school courses and attend college on the same campus.
Friday leaders with Fresno Unified and Fresno City College gathered to celebrate “Neighborhood Campus.”
“They can take classes at night so they are with us during the day and they can get ahead and begin gathering transcript credit by going to college in the evening on their own school campus. It is a win, win on all respects,” said Fresno Unified Superintendent, Bob Nelson.
He is excited Edison High School and Sunnyside High School will be home to college courses at night starting this semester.
“Neighborhood Campus” courses will also be available to adults making college accessible to everyone.
“As we continue our partnership we will see more of our offerings here and elsewhere throughout the city. It really is about breaking down the barriers that people have. So we can make education more accessible for everyone,” said Carole Goldsmith, Fresno City College President.
