Dual Enrollment at Community College and 4-Year Institutions


The A+ Schools Program is a school-improvement initiative established by the Outstanding Schools Act of 1993. The program is raising academic standards, opening new doors to higher education and introducing students to the teaching profession through tutoring and mentoring activities.

The program provides incentives for local high schools to:

• to increase student achievement
• increase attendance and graduation rates
• offer at-risk intervention
• provide technology enhancement in the curriculum
• promote rigorous coursework and preparation for success after graduation, and
• offer career guidance and interaction with business partners in the community

The primary goal of A+ Schools is to assure that all students are well prepared to pursue advanced education and employment.

The program also offers A+ Scholarships to students who graduate from an A+ designated high school and meet specific requirements.

Further information can be found in the New Horizons Program of Studies district handbook.

Mrs. Sharon Maslowsky serves as Glendale’s A+ Schools Coordinator. Since A+ is a program intended to serve as an improvement tool, she coordinates activities that align with school efforts to increase student achievement, increase attendance and graduation rates, offer at-risk intervention, provide technology enhancement in the curriculum, promote rigorous coursework and preparation for success after graduation, and offer career guidance and interaction with business partners in the community.

Since A+ eligibility also provides a Scholarship component for students, she supervises students enrolled in the Tutoring class and work with tutor supervisors at Glendale’s elementary and middle feeder schools as they work toward qualification.

Mrs. Maslowsky attended MSU and holds a Bachelor and Masters degrees. Her teaching background is in Business Education. She and her husband enjoy traveling and spending time with their son, Justin, and daughter, Chelsea.
