Community/Junior College

Each year, approximately 12–18% of graduating seniors from Cherokee Trail High School choose to attend a 2-year college, community college, or junior college.

Community colleges provide flexible pathways for students, including:

Associate Degrees that prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce
Certificates for specialized job training
Transfer Degrees that allow students to continue at a 4-year university to earn a Bachelor's Degree

Starting at a 2-year college is a smart financial decision and a great way to transition from high school to higher education or the workforce. It offers students a supportive environment to explore their interests, build academic confidence, and prepare for future success.
