Tech Prep
Students at W.F. West have the opportunity to earn free college credit through our tech prep articulation agreements. Currently, articulation agreements are in place with Centralia College. These classes are transcripted through the college granting credit, and are often transferable to other institutions. The actual classes covered under these agreements change from year to year, so check this page for updates. For more information, check the Centralia College Tech Prep website.
To earn college credit, a student must earn a grade of "B" or bettter and complete the registration process. At this time there is no charge. The list below shows classes that are covered under current articulation agreements. Check with your teacher for further information.
