Hennepin Technical College

Interested in taking courses at Hennepin Technical College?

At Highview, students have the option to take courses at Hennepin Technical College (HTC) until the age of 21. 

It is an honor and a privilege to attend HTC. We are able to provide this program to help students get a head start on a career and even receive a certificate or degree in the career you choose to study before you are 21! This opens up a world of opportunity in higher paying jobs in something that you enjoy. 

The courses at HTC also count as elective credits at Highview. Students begin the program with a class called Student Success and Career Exploration. They may then register for more classes depending on the prerequisites.

Transportation

Highview provides transportation on Wednesdays only for the Student Success class (the first class that all students take who apply to HTC). Students should get their breakfast before they get on the bus at 9:10 from Highview. The bus returns to Highview at 1:10 in time to get lunch. 

You may transport yourself.  You will also need your own transportation to take other classes.

  1. Students will have their credits and progress reviewed to be accepted and to stay in the HTC program. 
  2. You may only miss two classes at HTC or you will be dropped from the program. 
  3. Any behavior issues that occur at HTC will result in being dropped from the program as well as addressed at Highview as well.
