Sandhills Community College and The O’Neal School have teamed up to offer a joint Career and College Promise Program for O’Neal Upper School students starting fall semester of 2025. O’Neal students will have access to free college credit courses offered by Sandhills Community college faculty.
“This is a great opportunity for our students to gain college credit while in the Upper School,” said Dr. Dale McInnis, O’Neal Head of School, in a press release. “I’m grateful to Dr. Stewart to help us meet a demand from our students and families to supplement and enhance our already rigorous curriculum.”
Career and College Promise is a statewide program authorized by the General Assembly for all high school students in North Carolina. With the Sandhills Community College-O'Neal agreement, students can take up to four community college courses to be offered annually. Classes will be offered on the O’Neal campus and will be instructed by the Sandhills Community College faculty. Processes will be built to identify and enroll interested students and offer student support services as well as tracking progress.
“This is a natural partnership centered around students and opportunity,” said Dr. Alexander “Sandy” Stewart, President of Sandhills Community College, in a press release. “Anytime we can form partnerships to enhance educational opportunities for students in Moore County, we are
happy to do so. Sandhills is pleased to be working with The O’Neal School for dual enrollment for high school students and college credit and we look forward to working with Dr. McInnis and his team.”
O’Neal students will be expected to meet all course pre-requisites that other college students are required to meet for Sandhills Community College courses. Students will participate in the same process of registration, drop-add and withdrawal as availability of seats in courses allows. O’Neal’s director of college counseling will monitor course actions of the students in the program. In addition, O’Neal students will have access to Sandhills Community College amenities including use of the Boyd Library, Dempsey Student Center and access to student support services including free tutoring.
