A great new feature for the children of Clarksville Tennessee.  One more reason why Clarksville is a great place in which to raise a family!

A total of 120 Students started Clarksville's Middle College on the APSU campus on Monday.  The students will be juggling not only High School Courses, but College Courses as well. 

Students forego high school athletics, band and clubs if they elect a middle college experience. The program is designed to allow students to take needed high school courses while starting to build college credits.

"You are taking a road that has never been traveled before," Middle College High School Principal Melissa Champion said.

Funding through the Hope Lottery Scholarship and the Clarksville Montgomery County School system make this experience available for all, though all students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the University.

Additionally, the students have the responsibility to maintain their grades.  Should they not pass a course, they are responsible for repaying the school system for tuition costs.

This is a great way for Clarksville's children to get a head start on their college as well as to learn valuable lessons of responsibility and accountablility.
