North Central Texas College/Nocona High School Partnership

Dual Credit courses are college courses provided by institutions of higher education (IHE). These colleges are typically local junior colleges that school districts partner with, but can also be four-year universities or online programs. NISD has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with North Central Texas College to provide dual credit options to our students.
