- A program between the El Paso Community College and Van Horn High School was started about six years ago, which allowed students to receive ‘dual credit’ for college hours and required high school courses. Lois Flanagin has been the Coordinator/Instructor for the past few years and reports that this year there were 25 Seniors and 20 Juniors participating in the program. The advantage to this program is that it saves both time and money for those graduating seniors who will be entering college.
