High School Plus
High School Plus is a collection of programs where you can explore all kinds of college classes and careers at McHenry County College while you’re still in high school:
Partnership for College and Career Success (formerly known as Tech Prep)
MCC’s Partnership for College and Career Success (PCCS) program gives you a chance to start working on a professional certificate or associate’s degree while you’re still in high school. Statistically speaking, that means your job (and salary) prospects will be better when you graduate, plus, depending on the program, a lot of the classes may be at no cost to you while you’re still a student!
