Downcounty Consortium (DCC)
The Downcounty Consortium includes five high schools and their feeder middle and elementary schools—Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, and Wheaton. Each DCC high school offers distinctive academy programs designed to capture students’ interest, incorporate rigorous academic course work, explore possible career pathways, and bring real world relevance to students’ education. Current Grade 8 students entering DCC high schools in 2008-2009 will participate in the high school Choice process. Opportunities are now available for parents and students to learn about the Choice process and investigate the unique academy offerings in the DCC.
