Wow...kinda surprised this wasn't a thing already. Way back in the late 90s we could do dual-enrollment at the local community college where I'm from in Appalachian Ohio, not exactly the most progressive place. And one could do full time both Junior and Senior years to graduate with an associates degree...HCPSS's program one has to commit early in 9th grade to get an associates and can only do full time in Senior year. Its strange Howard County's program isn't as good 25 years later.
