Zoe Jagodzinski splits her school day between Fountain Hills High School and the East Valley Institute of Technology, where she’s on track to become a certified nursing assistant—all while finishing a year of college before arriving on campus.
As a junior at FHHS, Jagodzinski says that the majority of her class participates in Accelerate ASU, the dual enrollment program that allows students to earn college credits at no cost, thanks in large part to the Peter and Theresa Conti Foundation.
Designed by Arizona State University faculty, Accelerate ASU allows juniors and seniors to enroll in 54 various college-level courses inside FHHS classrooms, allowing them to complete more than 30 college credits while still attending high school.
