We are thrilled to announce an extraordinary opportunity for students in grades 8-11: through a new partnership between Islip High School and Suffolk County Community College, your child can earn a full associate's degree while still in high school!

This program combines AP courses and college-level courses taught at Islip High School, giving students the chance to graduate not just with a diploma - but with a college degree in hand, saving families tens of thousands of dollars in tuition.

Please see this letter for more details.

We also invite you to learn more at the next Board of Education meeting:

Sincerely,
Dennis P. O'Hara, Ed.D.
