Difference between College in the High School and Running Start
1. First difference is where the courses are offered. College in the High School courses are all offered at the High School in person. Running Start courses are offered at local community colleges.
2. The second difference is cost. There is no cost for any College in the High school courses at SHS to earn college credit. Running Start tuition is funded, but there are associated fees each quarter with Running Start that families are responsible for.
