Montebello Unified, East LA College announce new dual enrollment program

High school students at Montebello Unified can now take college classes at East Los Angeles College as part of a new dual enrollment program between the district and community college, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported.

The program will allow the high schoolers to take classes that will earn them credits that can be used toward college certificates or even an associate’s degree. East LA College has also previously partnered with Los Angeles Unified and Alhambra Unified to offer dual enrollment courses.

“We believe these types of initiatives really empower our students to be equipped with a competitive advantage as they navigate through their academic and of course their professional journeys,” Alberto Roman, president of the college, said at a news conference, according to the Tribune.
