Getting college credits during high school can give students a big leg up after graduation.

On Wednesday's WHOW High School Road Tour, DeLand-Weldon Guidance Counselor Sam Kirkton told Regional Radio the school partners with schools like Parkland College and Richland Community College to introduce students to college-level courses. 

Kirkton explains DeLand-Weldon students have no trouble taking these opportunities to further their education. She points to networking as the main way to build relationships with the colleges. 

Helping students figure out their path after they leave the district is something Kirkton is very passionate about, whether it's learning what they're interested in or not interested in. 

Keep it to Regional Radio this afternoon to hear from DeLand-Weldon's Student Council sponsor on a unique tradition at the high school.
