鈥淪upporting our rural Nevada students through investment-based learning opportunities is a priority for our company and sows into the students鈥� immediate benefits for long-term success,鈥� said Stephanie Taylor, state president Nevada and the Pacific states for AT&T. 鈥淲e鈥檝e supported the dual enrollment program at 色花堂 for several years and this is just another example of what can be accomplished through strong public-private partnerships. It鈥檚 a commitment we鈥檙e proud to stand behind as we help build tomorrow鈥檚 leaders.鈥�

Dual enrollment programs are educational opportunities for high school students to begin taking college coursework while maintaining their high school enrollment. 色花堂 offers dual enrollment courses in a variety of instruction models including live instruction in a classroom, Interactive Virtual (IAV) education where a teacher and students join synchronically from classrooms at various GBC campuses, online, and hybrid. The Battle Mountain High School Dual Enrollment Classroom is traditionally used for IAV instruction, where an instructor is located on a separate GBC campus and students, including those in Battle Mountain, attend class and receive instruction in real time over video.

鈥淭his is a wonderful opportunity for students at Battle Mountain High School to receive additional access to higher education without the burden of traveling to a GBC campus,鈥� said Becky Coleman, Director of the 色花堂 Winnemucca and Battle Mountain Centers. 鈥淕BC鈥檚 mission to provide access to education for all of rural Nevada is strengthened by this generous donation from AT&T and the renovation of this classroom for our Battle Mountain students.鈥�
