“This presentation will provide details on the overall collaboration and scope of a successful rural ECHS collaboration,” she continued. “We will provide information and strategies on how to incorporate extra-curricular activities and workforce programs into an ECHS environment for successful students. In addition, we will provide an outline of how successful, positive communication and collaboration is key to the success of ECHS, but also dual credit partnerships.”
