Collegiate Center News – Dr. Lillian Porter, Director of Early College High Schools/Dual Credit at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB) recently spoke to Timpson ISD students, staff and parents about the opportunities taking dual credit classes offer students. Students can earn up to a two year college Associates degree by taking dual credit classes while in high school. Dual credit classes earn students both high school and college credit. Dr. Porter said she was able to earn her doctorate degree by continuing to walk through doors that opened for her. She encouraged Timpson students to do the same. Dr. Porter went on to say that a big door had opened to Timpson students with the district paying for tuition, fees and books for students taking dual credit classes. Timpson ISD has to pay much less than students would pay once they graduate.
