From a CWHS Instructor

"The College Within the High School program is an excellent program that allows students in high school to obtain college level credits while still in high school. Perhaps even more importantly, it gives students a hands-on understanding of the rigors and complexity of a college level class at a very affordable rate. It also shows the excellent relationship that Butler County Community College has developed and invested in the community."  Brad Pflugh, Knoch HS

From a Guidance Counselor

"In the classes that have been taught at Greenville High School, I've seen growth and maturity in the students and a sense of confidence about attending college, not to mention the cost savings as well. It's been a great accelerated option for our students who want to get a head start on college!" Fred Kiser, Greenville HS

From an Administrator

"Butler County Community College's College Within the High School program is an outstanding addition to our high school curriculum. Our students are afforded college level classes at our high school for a great price. We use our teachers which is an added benefit to our students as well as our teachers. BC3 allows our high school students the opportunity to experience college level coursework at an affordable rate. BC3 has generated a lot of enthusiasm among our student body, especially with courses that we would not be able to offer otherwise" Dr. Douglas Hazlett, Assistant Superintendent, Sharpsville Area School District
