Masonry

Through articulation agreements between FSCC and area high schools, high school students have a seamless path to pursue their educational goals. Students can enroll in masonry courses as early as their junior or senior year in high school.

In 2012, the Kansas Legislature passed HB155, establishing the Excel in CTE initiative. This program aims to increase access to high-wage, high-demand careers by funding industry-recognized credentials and allowing high school students to take part in Career Technical Education (CTE) dual enrollment opportunities. Since its launch, the initiative has led to significant growth in the number of secondary students earning industry-recognized credentials and CTE college credits. The list of approved programs and credentials is determined by the State of Kansas and may change annually. There are a number of classes that are paid for completely by this initiative, however not all classes and tests are funded. These are updated yearly by the State of Kansas. For more info, go to Kansas Board of Regents: Excel in CTE webpage. For a complete list of qualified course Fort Scott Community College offers, go here.
