Fifty-six teachers from 29 high schools throughout the Mahoning Valley were recognized Wednesday for their participation in Youngstown State University’s College in High School, a program that serves nearly 400 students.

“YSU is committed to providing programs necessary to ensure student success and to increase education levels in the region, and College in High School is a prime example of an initiative that does just that,” YSU President Cynthia E. Anderson said at the event held in conjunction with National Teacher Day.

CHS allows qualified high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit while taking classes in their home high schools as part of the regular school day. Credits earned are transferable to any Ohio public university.
