Did you know your high school student can earn college credits before they graduate from high school? That can mean saving both time and money when they get to college!

September was a busy month for our NDSCS Dual Credit team — visiting high schools across North Dakota, helping students register for Dual Credit classes and get a head start on their college education.

Whether your student is already thinking about college or just starting to explore their options, Dual Credit can be a great way to get ahead.

NDSCS Collision Engineering graduate, Isabella Roll, was recently highlighted in an article from Collision Repair Education Foundation!

“My education in the Auto Body Repair and Refinishing program was top grade,” she says. “My school and professors devoted a lot of time and effort to providing top-quality equipment, activities and exercises for my classmates and me. It really makes a difference when your program and teachers want you to succeed, and I have grown immensely since I started school in 2024.”

Homecoming Week is underway at NDSCS, and today we had even more to celebrate. 🎉

We officially cut the ribbon on the Yaggie Family Agriculture Center and Kosel Family Agricultural Lab, and held an open house in the renovated Schuett Hall Automotive Technology Labs!

These updated spaces give students more opportunities to learn by doing, build their skills and prepare for what’s next.

A big thank-you to the donors, state leaders, community members and everyone who helped bring these projects to life — and to all those who came to celebrate with us today.

We’re looking forward to seeing Wildcats learn, practice and put these spaces to work.
