PCC seems to be taking credit with the high school student achievements (good for the high school). What is PCC doing for its adult students and students at its campuses in what PCC teaches. How are they keeping college education standards as they target younger and younger students? Maybe they can do it well. However, maybe they can not.

Another PCC dual credit course is the FGHS Viking House! The Viking House is a single-family home project built by Advanced Construction students from Forest Grove High School. Our crew performs all of the major carpentry tasks on the home through the course of the school year in conjunction with industry professionals. One project has been completed every year since 1975, and the program is self-funded using profits from previous projects.
